For Louisa Garland, belief has always been the starting point—and sometimes the lifeline. Founder of Imperial Armour, she reflects on 25 years of building a company that protects lives with body armour and UN demining gear, all from a base in Durban. Louisa shares how her toughest season in 2018 nearly closed the doors, and how support from her children—and her own faith—helped her find stillness and resilience. The very next day, she received her largest-ever order.
In this EO Ignite 2025 debut, Louisa also opens up about her first EO conference, the community connections she’s most excited about, and the power of practicing daily affirmations when leadership feels heavy. This conversation blends purpose, impact, and perseverance—a reminder that breakthroughs are always possible when belief leads the way.
