About This Speaker: Dr. Jane Barratt
Dr. Jane Barratt is an internationally recognized expert who shapes global responses to ageing, health, and social development.

Jane served as Secretary General of the International Federation on Ageing and now contributes as a Global Advisor. She sits on international boards and WHO expert groups. Her governance experience spans health research, biotechnology, and long-term care. Through these roles, she offers audiences a rare inside view of how innovation, policy, and accountability intersect in public health.
On stage, Jane brings clarity, warmth, and practical insight. She connects evidence with humanity and translates global frameworks into real-world lessons on leadership, inclusion, and resilience. Audiences describe her sessions as thought-provoking and deeply human. She invites people to see ageing as a test of systems and a reflection of our shared integrity.
Global organizations continue to recognize Jane’s impact on dignity and equity across the life course. The World Health Organization named her a Healthy Ageing 50 Champion in 2023. She also received the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2013.
