Nicci Clarke is Marketing & Culinary Director for UK and Ireland at Sodexo Live! where she leads hospitality strategy across stadiums, heritage venues and major events. She's spent twenty years taking complex operations and building systems that actually work when teams are under pressure - covering menu strategy, guest experience, culinary development, sustainability and the commercial framework that makes it all viable.
She's a vocal advocate for women in sport, pushing for visible leadership and realistic career pathways. She works with culinary and marketing teams to shift food culture toward quality and impact, not just volume and margin.
She also talks openly about executive wellbeing and perimenopause - subjects most people in leadership avoid until they're already struggling. It's part of her wider belief that hospitality relies on people being able to think clearly and show up properly.
