Judith Gillespie CBE is the former Deputy Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and the first woman to hold that rank in Northern Ireland’s policing history.

Judith shares her extraordinary leadership journey through the Troubles, the transition from the RUC to PSNI, and the deeply personal experiences that shaped her career, including the darkest days of policing and the heavy cost of terrorism. 

She opens up about leading under fire, championing inclusion in a male-dominated profession, and the balance between motherhood and public duty. 

This is a deeply human conversation packed with insights on resilience, integrity, institutional transformation, and building public trust.

A must-listen for business leaders, entrepreneurs and decision-makers seeking inspiration and clarity in the face of challenge.
