Martyn Sibley is a disability inclusion changemaker, entrepreneur, and author exploring how societies thrive when everyone is included. His work examines the social, economic, and political systems that shape equality - and how inclusive design benefits everyone, not only disabled people. As CEO and co-founder of Purple Goat, Martyn leads one of the world’s most inclusive marketing agencies, helping brands authentically represent disabled people and unlock the £300 billion “Purple Pound.” Through Purple Changemakers, he educates and supports social entrepreneurs and activists to turn their vision into real-world impact, while Purple Collective drives policy and campaigning solutions where no one else has stepped up to act. Martyn draws deeply from lived experience and nearly two decades of changemaking - from co-founding Disability Horizons, to co-building Accomable, an accessible-travel startup later acquired by Airbnb. His work has been featured by the BBC, The Guardian, Forbes, and the Financial Times’ Sifted. Named one of the UK’s most influential disabled people, Martyn’s mission is powered by the collective voice for disability inclusion - creating a future where accessibility, innovation, and belonging sit at the heart of how we all live, work, and travel. Author of Everything is Possible, Martyn continues to speak, write, and create media that bridges empathy and action
