Nishma Patel Robb | Founder & Chief Sparkle Officer, Glittersphere

From commanding Google’s brand and reputation to championing women’s economic power, Nishma Patel Robb is the sequin-wearing revolutionary turning invisible women into unstoppable forces.

While everyone’s talking about Artificial Intelligence, she’s pioneering what she calls “The Other AI” – Authentic Intelligence – because in a world of algorithms, she believes humanity, kindness, and empathy will be the real drivers of future success.

As Founder and Chief Sparkle Officer of Glittersphere, Nishma is tackling some stark realities with serious strategy (and a signature smile): less than 2% of funding goes to women, the gender pay gap is widening, and women’s voices – particularly in influential mediums like podcasting – are being systematically undervalued and underfunded. Her response? Building a powerful platform that helps women own their stories, amplify their voices, and build personal brands that open doors and command investment.

This isn’t just about individual success – it’s about collective economic power. Drawing from her experience as a Senior Director at Google (where she led game-changing campaigns like ‘Dear Local’ and ‘This is My YouTube’), Nishma is now applying her brand-building expertise to create a revolution in how women achieve visibility and financial success.

A celebrated speaker who electrifies global audiences, former President of WACL, and Fellow of both the IPA and The Marketing Society, Nishma is connecting, inspiring, and guiding women toward greater success – all while proving that you can shatter glass ceilings wearing sparkly shoes. When she’s not empowering women or championing diversity in creative industries, you’ll find her perfecting her DJ skills (because who said disrupting the patriarchy can’t have a soundtrack?), hanging with her teenage twins, or taking inspiration from her Maltipoo Milly – who’s mastered the art of being impossible to ignore.
