Who’s Speaking at HR Retail Africa 2026

Andrew Millson

I am a qualified coach and facilitator, helping people shift from their heads to their hearts so that they can discover, embody, and live their full truth. With a career spanning senior executive roles in both the UK and Africa, across the private and non-profit sectors, I currently serve as Group Executive for People and Sustainability at Food Lover’s Market. I stepped into this role after founding the company’s sustainability strategy, Earth Lovers, in 2016 — a deeply values-driven initiative that reflects my passion for purpose-led leadership and regenerative business.

Alongside my professional work, I’m involved in facilitating men’s groups, where I work with men from across the globe, helping to hold space for men to reconnect with their authentic selves. These experiences are grounded in a belief that true transformation arises when we return to what is most real within us. I have delivered talks and workshops across multiple countries on sustainability, authentic leadership, values, culture, and purpose. I’m also a contributing author to the book HR: The New Agenda, where I wrote the chapter “The Power of Purpose.”

I am a passionate advocate for conscious change — driven by a deep desire to help humanity raise its collective awareness and co-create a more just, vibrant, and life-affirming world. In this regard I work to cultivate spaces where people feel safe to express their true selves, awaken their potential, and live in deeper alignment with nature.

I am a father and a husband with a deep love of wild places, ancient forests, and the mystery of the ocean. And I remain a hopeful idealist — believing wholeheartedly in our shared ability to create a more beautiful world.
