Sam Gledhill (Sammy)

Sam is a Mornington Peninsula lad who manages to combine his love of numbers (statistics are a particular favourite) with clinical research and health management. Starting his career as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist, Sam has more than 20 years' experience in the medical industry including roles ranging from bedside care through to senior management, with detours into clinical research along the way. His role as Global Director, Testicular Cancer requires him to oversee and manage the Movember's testicular cancer research, survivorship support and clinical quality initiatives. Sam is a passionate advocate for men’s health, particularly when it comes to supporting the young men around the world who are faced with a diagnosis of and treatment for testicular cancer.

Owen Brigstock-Barron (OBB, OB1)

Owen (aka OBB) probably has the longest surname at Movember. Although he sounds fancy, he is actually from a small industrial town in Yorkshire, UK. He has worked in public health for the better part of a decade, in areas including sexual health, mental health and ageing – all areas that share disproportionately poorer health outcomes for men, something which Owen is keen to tackle.

OBB leads the Movember’s mental health and suicide prevention portfolio covering fathers and young men, and manages projects which aim to ensure fathers feel confident and connected in parenthood, as well as enable young men to develop resilience and a healthy attitude towards the mental health of both themselves and others.

Owen is also a self-proclaimed geek, keen lover of aviation, Eurovision, AFL (Doggies fan) and anything tech.

Kieran Ryan (Kizz, Kizza, Kizzle)

Kieran is a country lad, born and bred in Stawell, and it shows. His laid-back, friendly nature means it’s impossible not to like him, making him perfect for a career in client relations. He’s come to the Movember intent of having fun, doing good. Although still in his 20’s, he’s already lost two close mates to suicide, so Kieran has a particular passion for improving the mental health and wellbeing of Aussie men. Outside of work, he’s busy keeping fit and is one of those very few people who make the choice to compete in ultra marathons. When he’s not doing those, he’s running, surfing, skating, playing football…the list goes on.
