Neil Barnfather MBE

Neil Barnfather is a blind businessman from the UK with experience in multinational leadership roles and across numerous successful startups. With knowledge from multiple industries (navigation, fintech, information technology, retail, and more), he has gained a broad understanding of how things are and how they could and should be improved. With his focus on the customer journey (be that physical or digital), he’s a champion of simplicity and autonomy and believes in the right tool for the right job at the right time. He’s also the only blind person (so far as he knows) who holds a pilot’s license, so while you might not want him assisting with your surgery, you may during an in-flight emergency.
