ABOUT KRIS HALL
Founder. Speaker. Survivor of his own success.
Kris Hall is a public speaker and the founder of The Burnt Chef Project — a global mental health movement that reached 180+ countries. He knows what it costs to build something that matters.
Kris has navigated the unique challenges of building a financially sustainable social enterprise, generating over £3m in impact while staying true to a mission-led model. He understands first-hand that purpose and profit aren't opposites.
