Corporate Ambassadors

We are proud to present our CEO Sleepout Corporate Ambassadors for each city.

Meet our Corporate Ambassadors - generous business leaders who give up their time to wave the CEO Sleepout Sleepout flag for their networks. These Corporate Ambassadors have often participated in CEO Sleepout events multiple times. Their role is to act as our spokespeople before, during and after the CEO Sleepout event, using their energy, their contacts and their heart. Corporate Ambassadors are appointed by invitation only.

CEO Sleepout’s lived experience ambassadors are people who have lived through, and overcome homelessness.

They may have lived rough on the streets, in cars or in accommodation that is unfit for human habitation. They may have sofa-surfed or bounced from place to place until they had the opportunity to get back on their feet. They tell their stories at CEO Sleepout events and bring a new perspective to the human cost of homelessness, unlocking a deeper understanding and empathy among our audience. It takes great courage for somebody to tell their story given the stigma and shame attached to homelessness. We treasure each and every person who has stepped up and shared, with the goal of fostering greater understanding.

Paul Haigh works at leading Armed Forces charity, Walking With The Wounded, as a Veteran Support Liaison Officer. He's spoken about his life at CEO Sleepout Events in Middlesbrough, Newcastle, Sunderland and Alnwick.

I'm great believer that early intervention support can make a lasting impact and change someone's life for the better. I'm living proof!

Enton Barefoot

Enton is the author of a book called "Laid Bare" which details his journey through addiction, homelessness and recovery. As our lived Experience Ambassador for Leicester, Enton has spoken at two CEO Sleepout events.

Julie Nerney

Julie shows that it's possible to thrive after homelessness. She is an "accidental" serial entrepreneur who focuses on authentic, human and purposeful leadership. Julie has taken no less than 14 businesses from start-up to sold, and is a sought-after business transformation expert. Julie shared her story as CEO Sleepout London's Keynote Speaker in 2023.

Jenna Bowyer

Jenna wasn't always the outgoing, happy person she is today. Following depression and addiction, Jenna found herself sleeping rough, followed by two vulnerable years as a prostitute/escort, before being given a second chance at life. Jenna has generously shared her story with us at CEO SLEEPOUT events in Manchester, Alnwick and Leicester.
