A lawyer by profession, Prue Gilbert is part of a new breed - a generation of social entrepreneurs who are redefining how businesses drive social change. Integrating her vast legal, leadership and diversity experience, she co-founded Grace Papers to challenge traditional stereotypes and provide a platform to empower both working parents and their employers.
Since launching Grace Papers in 2014, Prue and her team have supported expectant mothers and fathers to overcome gender stereotypes as well as discrimination faced in their workplaces during pregnancy, parental leave and returning to work.
Her work transcends simple tactical tools and brings an inspiring new lens to advocacy and activism both
through the online platform and her corporate coaching work. As she educates leaders, CEOs,
government and ASX-Listed businesses as well as the broader community, Prue is changing a generation
of workplaces and creating positive parental journeys.
Prue holds a Law/Arts degree from Melbourne University, with a major in French. She is a Fellow of the
Governance Institute of Australia, a qualified executive coach and has studied under The Empowerment
Institute NYC to deepen her capacity to drive social change.
