Jamie Oliver
Jamie Oliver is a global phenomenon in food and campaigning. With a 22-year television and publishing career, he has sold over 48 million books worldwide and achieved an estimated global TV audience reach of 67 million across 182 territories, inspiring millions to enjoy cooking fresh, delicious food from scratch.
Through his organization, Jamie has set an ambitious goal to halve the level of UK childhood obesity by 2030 and improve everyone’s health and happiness through food. His belief that business can be a force for good in driving positive change saw the Jamie Oliver Group achieve B-Corp status in July 2020.
Jamie is the top-selling non-fiction author in UK history, with 25 best-selling cookery books. Three of his cookbooks featured in the UK’s top 20 best-selling books of the decade (2010-2020): 30 Minute Meals at number 4, 5 Ingredients at number 16, and 15 Minute Meals at number 17. His new book, ONE: Simple One-Pan Wonders, was released in September 2022.
Alongside his work in TV and publishing, Jamie connects with audiences across multiple digital platforms, creating and appearing in exclusive content for various social platforms and YouTube channels. His app, JUM, launched in the UK in January 2022.
His portfolio of successful restaurants spans 22 countries with 60 restaurants, and his growing range of food and kitchen products includes kitchenware, utensils, and various food items.
Jamie started cooking at his parents’ pub, The Cricketers, at the age of eight. After leaving school, he began a career as a chef that took him to the River Cafe, where he was discovered by a television production company, leading to the creation of The Naked Chef.
In 2001, Jamie moved on from The Naked Chef to set up his first Fifteen restaurant in London, which began a 15-year journey training disengaged young people for careers in the catering industry. He later led the call for improved school dinners in the UK, resulting in lasting change to the school food system. Jamie’s national and international campaigns have continued to revolutionize how people feed themselves and their families, galvanizing governments and industry to drive positive change in food education and public health. All of his commercial activities strive to promote and define new best practice standards.
Jamie lives in Essex with his wife Jools and their five children.
