Gabby Logan MBE

Gabby Logan is one of the country's best-known sports presenters. As well as Match of the Day, she's fronted the BBC’s Inside Sport, Final Score, and live coverage of the FA Cup, as well as coverage of rugby, athletics, and the Olympics. She is also one of the hosts of the Sports Personality of the Year show.

Born into a sporting family, Gabby represented Wales in the Commonwealth Games and competed at university-level in the high jump. After university she joined Sky Sports before moving on to present ITV’s Premier League, Champions’ League, and World Cup coverage. Going over to the BBC, Gabby became only the second woman to front Match of the Day. She has since hosted coverage of both football and rugby world cups, world, and European championship athletics, as well as events including the Olympics, the London Marathon, and the Boat Race. Gabby's also been a regular guest host on The One Show, and presented her own show on Radio 5Live.

Alongside presenting Gabby's written a column for The Times, has appeared on Would I Lie to You?, Room 101 and 8 Out of 10 Cats, has tried her hand at standup comedy for Sports Relief, and braved the cold in Freeze the Fear with Wim Hof. She also competed in Strictly Come Dancing, where she was controversially voted out before her husband, Scottish rugby player Kenny Logan. Away from TV, Gabby has worked to educate and encourage conversations about the menopause and mid-life, topics she covers on her podcast The Mid•Point, and in her memoir The First Half. 

As a speaker Gabby considers what success looks like to her, what challenges she has encountered as a leader and team player, and her experiences in male-dominated environments. She discusses the role of women in the sports and broadcasting industries, and looks at leadership, empowerment, teamwork and collaboration between departments and teams to drive success.
