Ruban Pillai

He has been stuttering since the age of four and focuses his energies on empowering those experiencing the same challenges and raising awareness of the low-profile speech disability.

Some of his work has seen him give talks at University College London, Birmingham University, University of Law, Deutsche Bank, as well as appearances on ITV news and BBC London radio.

Ruban is an active member of the public speaking organisation Toastmasters International, where he has won contests, chaired events and mentored new members embarking on their public speaking journey.

In his spare time, he keeps very active. He previously competed at amateur level in Muay Thai Boxing but now trains leisurely and has recently completed 100 miles of running in thirty-one days for the Samaritans charity.
