Elliott Rae

Elliott Rae is one of the UK’s most prominent writers and speakers on fatherhood and masculinity. He created the Parenting Out Loud culture change programme which has revolutionised the national conversation about working fathers. Parenting Out Loud supports employers to build workplace cultures where dads can be loud and proud about their caring responsibilities at work. As an author, Elliott curated the bestselling book, DAD, and as a presenter, he fronted the seminal BBC One documentary ‘Becoming Dad’ which was one of the 20 most watched documentaries across the whole BBC network in 2022. Elliott co-hosts the popular podcast, To Be A Boy, which explores parenting, raising boys and masculinity. He has written for publications such as The Independent, The Telegraph and Grazia. He frequently appears across the media, including a feature on Loose Women and regular contributions to LBC, Radio 5 Live, BBC Politics Show and BBC Radio London. Elliott has held senior Inclusion positions in large companies, most notably as the Head of DEI Delivery at HM Treasury and, in 2025, was awarded a MBE for his work supporting new dads.
