Denise Hampson is a Consultant Behavioural Economist and Service Designer and has worked with a wide range of organisations including a number of central government departments. She is the author of Desire Code, a framework for behavioural transformation, and speaks internationally on the subject of behaviour change.

Denise was a member of the Great Britain Track Cycling Team from 1999 to 2004, during which time she was British Women's Sprint Champion and British record holder.
