Name: Justine Roberts

Company: Mumsnet Ltd & Gransnet Ltd

Title: Founder & CEO

Justine Roberts is Founder and CEO of Mumsnet an online community of parents sharing advice, support and product recommendations. Over the last 13 years it has grown into the UK's busiest and most influential network for parents with over 8.5 million visits a month.

In February 2013, Justine was listed number 7 in BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour's Power List of the 100 most powerful women in the UK today. Justine was voted Red Magazine's Red Hot Woman in 2010 and was also included in the Guardian's 100 most influential people in the media.

Mumsnet hosts over 200 local sites, a network of over 2000 bloggers, and regularly campaigns on issues including support for families with SEN, improvements in miscarriage care and freedom of speech on the Internet.

In May 2011 Mumsnet launched Gransnet, a website for the original baby boomer generation to discuss relationships, news, culture - and not least grandparenting.

Before Mumsnet, Justine wrote about football and cricket for the Daily Telegraph and the Times and before that, a long time ago, she was an economist and strategist for SG Warburg.

Justine read PPE at New College, Oxford and is a mother of four children (and a dog).
