Nishma Robb, Founder & CEO – The Glittersphere

From Google’s corridors to glitter-bombing glass ceilings, Nishma Patel Robb is on a mission to turn invisible women into unstoppable forces. As Founder and CEO of Glittersphere, she’s creating a revolution in how women build economic power through personal reinvention and bold storytelling. 

A former Senior Director at Google who now proudly wears the title of Chief Sparkle Officer, Nishma blends strategic thinking with sequinned ambition. She’s the mastermind behind campaigns like ‘Dear Local’ and ‘This is My YouTube’, served as the 101st President of WACL, and is currently plotting world domination while building HERA, the UK’s first women-led video podcast network. 

When she’s not empowering women to own their stories or championing diversity in creative industries, you’ll find her perfecting her DJ skills (because who said business leaders can’t drop beats?), hanging with her teenage twins, or taking inspiration from her Maltipoo Milly – who’s mastered the art of being impossible to ignore. 

Fellow of the IPA and The Marketing Society, President of the History of Advertising Trust, and professional trouble-starter, Nishma is living proof that success doesn’t have to wear boring shoes.
