Patrick Kane

Writer, public speaker and disability rights advocate

Patrick Kane is a writer, public speaker and disability rights advocate currently working at Wunderman Thompson, the global creative agency and consultancy company.

Patrick became a triple amputee after contracting meningococcal septicaemia when he was nine months old and became the youngest person in the world to be fitted with a bionic arm in 2010.

Since then, he has devoted his time to speaking and writing about the role technology plays in the shaping perceptions of disability, with his first book due to be published in March 2023.
