Olympic gold medallist and canoe slalom world champion turned leadership speaker
Noémie Fox OAM captured global attention at the Paris Olympics when she stormed to gold in the inaugural women's kayak cross event — one of the Games' most high-adrenaline and technically demanding disciplines. French-born and Australian-raised, Noémie competes across three canoe slalom disciplines and is recognised for her explosive racing style and commanding presence both on and off the water.
In 2024, Noémie and her sister Jessica Fox became the first Australian siblings to win individual Olympic gold at the same Games. The pair received the Don Award at the Sport Australia Hall of Fame, given to the athlete who most inspired the nation, and Noémie was honoured with an Order of Australia Medal in the 2025 Australia Day honours. She holds a Master of Management from the University of Sydney and has worked in business transformation — giving her a practical lens on organisational performance alongside elite athletic achievement.
Noémie speaks with honesty, poise and humour about finding identity under pressure, self-belief, resilience and the importance of perseverance when facing expectations that feel impossible to meet. She is a passionate advocate for mental health, youth empowerment and inclusion.
