Ama Hill is the founder who transformed a simple idea into an industry success story. She launched Plantmade, an award-winning wellness brand known for its plant- based, vegan haircare and personal care products, from her mother’s kitchen in 2020. Fuelled by a passion to solve her own hair and skin challenges, Ama swiftly scaled this humble start-up into a thriving multi-million-pound enterprise within just a few years.
Under Ama’s leadership, Plantmade achieved astonishing, verifiable growth. In 2024, The Sunday Times ranked her company 29th on its prestigious list of the UK’s fastest-growing private businesses.
After five intense years as CEO, Ama has entered a new chapter as a sought-after keynote speaker, marketer, and creator focused on the vital intersection of business, marketing, and wellness. Her work is not theoretical; it is grounded in the raw, unfiltered lessons from the front lines of building a brand from scratch, including the wins, the mistakes, and the crucial mindset shifts that come with it.
Ama shares honest, actionable insights on what sustainable growth truly requires, from effective team scaling and intentional storytelling to the critical process of rebuilding after burnout. Her unique perspective helps founders and professionals think clearly, grow sustainably, and stay grounded while achieving their goals.
She is a seasoned international speaker, having shared her expertise on stages for leading companies and forums, including Meta, PwC, Microsoft, Tide, Klaviyo, and Black Tech Fest.
