Tara Attfield-Tomes is a PR and visibility strategist, founder and one of the UK’s most determined advocates for female entrepreneurship. With over 18 years’ experience, she founded EAST VILLAGE., the multi-award-winning visibility agency, and The 51% Club, a 2,000-strong national community supporting female founders from pre-revenue to policy change.
Her message is simple and sharp: for women in business, visibility is strategy, not vanity. Tara speaks on the systemic visibility gap holding women back, and on what it actually takes to close it; from personal brand and PR to investment, scaling and policy reform.
She co-chairs The Whole Point, sits on Innovate UK’s Women in Innovation Community Forum, and co-founded Let’s Fund More Women; the movement that pressured Innovate UK to reverse its funding cuts.
A sought-after keynote speaker and chair, Tara has appeared for The Daily Telegraph, London Tech Week, Black Business Show, and Enterprise Nation, to name a few.
