Biography
Cindy Gallop is the former founder & Chair of Bartle Bogle Hegarty US, and the founder & CEO of MakeLoveNotPorn, launched at TED 2009. The huge response led her to turn MakeLoveNotPorn – ‘Pro-sex. Pro-porn. Pro-knowing the difference’ - into the world’s first user-generated, 100% human-curated social sex videosharing platform. If porn is the Hollywood blockbuster movie, MakeLoveNotPorn is the badly-needed documentary: normalizing and destigmatizing sex to promote consent, communication, good sexual values and behavior, as sex education through real world demonstration, with a mission to help end rape culture globally. Cindy and her team have just launched MakeLoveNotPorn Academy, ‘the Google of sex ed’ in early stage beta - a global aggregator hub that makes the best of the world’s sex education easily searchable and accessible for every age. Cindy speaks at conferences and consults, describing her approach as ‘I like to blow shit up. I am the Michael Bay of business.’
