Susan Scott-Parker OBE is a globally respected cyber security speaker whose work uniquely bridges the gap between digital innovation and disability inclusion. As a pioneering advocate for equitable access in technology, Susan brings decades of expertise to the evolving dialogue around AI and its implications for people with disabilities. Her leadership is recognised worldwide, particularly for highlighting the risks AI poses to disabled jobseekers and employees. In 2023, she was invited to brief the US Secretary of Commerce, underscoring her influence at the highest levels of policy and governance.
Susan’s impact stems from her unwavering commitment to positioning disability equality as a business priority. As the Founder of the Business Disability Forum and Business Disability International, she created the first corporate disability performance benchmark and the first leadership programme for people with disabilities. Through these initiatives, she has transformed corporate thinking, working closely with global giants like Barclays, GSK, and Infosys. Her advisory roles with organisations including the German Government, the ILO Global Business Disability Network, and the Equitable AI Alliance further cement her status as a leading voice on the ethical development and deployment of technology.
Known for coining the term ‘Disability Confidence’ in 2003, Susan continues to redefine how businesses approach inclusion. Her recent engagements—hosting the “Scott-Parker Goes Live” podcast, leading the PurpleSpace Global Disability ERG Summit, and speaking at ZeroCon24 and the Disability Inclusive Pathways Conference—showcase her continued relevance and authority. She also serves as a vital connector between business, policy, and civil society, advocating for accessible innovation as both a moral and economic imperative.

Drawing from her extensive experience leading in areas long before anyone else, blended with an insatiable curiosity and clear wit she is not only a fabulous storyteller but has deep insight and knowledge that has her as a returning speaker time and time again.
