Kreena Dhiman is an award-winning keynote speaker, change & adversity strategist, women's health advocate and Senior Finance Professional, recognised for helping organisations embrace uncertainty with courage, resilience and empathy. Best known for transforming her own experiences of breast cancer, chemotherapy-induced heart failure, infertility and medically induced menopause into practical leadership lessons, Kreena has become one of the UK's leading voices on resilience and human-centred leadership. Blending powerful storytelling with actionable insights, she equips leaders and teams with the confidence to navigate disruption, make better decisions under pressure and build stronger, more compassionate workplace cultures.
Before becoming a sought-after speaker, Kreena built a successful career as a Senior Finance Professional within the insurance industry, where she spent more than a decade specialising in strategic planning, financial resilience and risk management. Her commercial expertise gave her a unique understanding of navigating uncertainty long before her personal life changed dramatically. At the age of 33, Kreena was diagnosed with breast cancer, before later developing life-threatening chemotherapy-induced heart failure. Facing infertility, medically induced menopause and years of complex recovery, she refused to let adversity define her future. Instead, she rebuilt her life through determination and strategic thinking, becoming a mother of four through IVF, donor conception and surrogacy. Today, Kreena combines professional expertise with deeply personal experience to deliver keynote speeches that resonate with audiences across every sector.
Kreena has established herself as an award-winning keynote speaker, delivering impactful presentations for FTSE organisations, global healthcare platforms, financial services companies and government institutions, including 10 Downing Street, The Houses of Parliament and ASCO, the world's largest oncology conference. She is the Ambassador for Estée Lauder Companies UK & Ireland Breast Cancer Campaign, Ambassador for Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Co-Founder of The Intended Parent, and an advisor to international health organisations including the International Society of Cardio-Oncology. Her achievements include winning the 2025 SHE Awards Glass Ceiling Breaker Award, the 2020 British Podcast Award, being recognised in Mother & Baby's Top 20 'The Mum List', and becoming a finalist for the Glow Mama Most Inspiring Mama Award. Kreena has also been featured by the BBC, ITV, The Telegraph, Stylist and Women's Health, cementing her reputation as a trusted authority on resilience, leadership and women's health.
Organisations hire Kreena because she offers far more than an inspirational story. Every keynote blends lived experience with practical leadership strategies that audiences can immediately apply to both their personal and professional lives. Covering topics including resilience, courageous leadership, navigating uncertainty, financial resilience, women's health, fertility, inclusion and organisational change, Kreena helps businesses create cultures where people thrive through adversity rather than despite it. Her authentic approach, combined with her commercial credibility and strategic insight, leaves audiences inspired, empowered and equipped to embrace change with confidence, making her an exceptional keynote speaker for conferences, leadership events and corporate programmes worldwide.
