Grace Osborne

Grace Osborne, 24, ex Investment Banker, pursued her passion for sustainability, high-performance sport and female empowerment by founding a sustainable sportswear brand for women, Natural Grace.

Hooked on endorphins, Grace had always pushed the boundaries in high-performance sport from a young age. But an accident left her learning to walk before she could run and in a long process of healing, Grace was struck by the co-dependency of human health and natural health.

As an Investment Banking analyst, Grace specialised in Oil and Gas Equity Research. Whilst this facilitated a fast-paced lifestyle which she enjoyed, she found herself at the forefront of the climate change crisis and at loggerheads with her beliefs; bringing up Environment, Social, Governance issues in meetings with CEOs of oil conglomerates very much felt like swimming against the tide.

Recovery from her accident allowed her to lift her head for breath, Grace realised she needed to re-establish the status quo. In a bid to reconnect human health and natural health, Natural Grace was born. Using high-performance regenerated ocean plastic fabrics, the brand provides sustainability without compromise, for women who make an impact.
