Gina Miller is a trailblazing businesswoman, fearless activist, and passionate advocate for justice whose career is defined by speaking truth to power and standing up for what’s right.
Galvanised by the reckless practices that triggered the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, Gina co-founded SCM Direct in 2009 – an investment firm that broke with convention. Driven by a contrarian mindset and an unrelenting commitment to transparency, efficiency, and fairness, SCM pioneered a radically different approach where clients’ interests came first, and the founders always invested alongside them.
In 2010, Gina launched the True & Fair Campaign to expose and reform widespread malpractice in the investment and pensions industry – from hidden fees and closet index tracking to systemic regulatory failures. Her tenacious campaigning led to pivotal reforms, including text in three key EU Directives in 2014 that have strengthened protections and outcomes for millions of consumers across Europe.
Determined to tackle the gender investment and pensions gaps, Gina founded MoneyShe in 2020 to empower woman with financial knowledge, confidence, and advocacy. MoneyShe supports women in building long-term economic security, while challenging structural inequalities that hold them back.
Gina’s activism spans more than three decades. It began in 1990 when she fought to improve education for children with special needs, inspired by her own daughter’s experiences. Over the years, she has also campaigned against modern slavery, championed domestic abuse survivors (as one herself), and pushed for stronger online safety standards.
A fearless voice for transparency, ethics, responsible capitalism, and civic duty, in 2017 and 2019, she made history by twice defeating UK Prime Ministers in the Supreme Court, safeguarding the sovereignty of Parliament. These landmark constitutional victories are now taught in schools, colleges, and universities across the UK.
Her searingly honest autobiography, Rise: Life Lessons in Speaking Out, Standing Tall & Leading the Way, offers powerful lessons in courage, integrity, and resilience – and continues to inspire people to find their voices, stand up and be counted.
To those who say one person can’t make a difference, Gina Miller’s life is living proof that you can.
