Alana Stott, MBE is a protector and problem-solver. A true multi-hyphenate, Stott founded and developed Wolfraven Omni-media as a vehicle to help tell amazing and inspirational stories, including her own, while fiercely advocating for causes aimed at making the world a better place. Following the success of her children’s series, "Mollie’s Adventures," Stott released two new books in 2023, the game-changing business and philanthropy book, "How to Ask for Money," and her powerful memoir, "She Who Dares."

Her storied international philanthropic work has included tireless efforts on behalf of dozens of charitable organizations. She has devoted thousands of hours of her time to numerous non-profits as an advisor and fundraiser, raising millions of dollars for causes such as mental health, veterans, and the fight against human trafficking. Stott has been pivotal in organizing educational and prevention initiatives regarding human trafficking and has been a keynote speaker on this and other topics, including business and female empowerment through her talks "She Who Dares," "How To Ask For Money," "The Buck Stops Here," and "Combatting Human Trafficking."

Stott has spent more than 25 years developing and overseeing the growth of a variety of businesses of varying sizes from an array of industries. With a uniquely diverse and accomplished resume, Stott’s achievements have ranged from travelling salesperson to debt collector, bodyguard, security specialist, hotel manager, bank manager, former Mrs. Scotland, CEO of an intelligence-based security firm, non-profit consultant, writer, and producer. She is a firm believer that nothing is impossible or out of reach. In recognition of her significant contributions and leadership in security roles, Stott was one of the first women to receive the Company Security Officer designation, enabling her to run security on any vessel at sea. She is also a fully-qualified Close Protection Officer and an honorary member of The Special Boat Services Association, the UK equivalent of The Navy’s Seal Team 6. She has organized multiple grand red-carpet events to raise funds for injured special forces soldiers and their families.

In 2018, Stott raised $1.3 million for a mental health awareness campaign at the request of Prince Harry and Stott’s husband, Dean Stott, a double world record-breaking cross-country cyclist, TV presenter and former UK Special Forces Operator. This was not her first stint in fundraising. Much like her working life, her business and philanthropic career paths started early. Stott was awarded the title of Member of The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) on the King's Honor List 2023 for her work supporting vulnerable women and mental health awareness, receiving multiple accolades for her work, such as ‘Fundraiser of the Year’ (2018) and Scottish Businesswoman of the Year runner-up (2019). In her non-profit work, Stott sources, researches and meets with potential donors personally, builds relationships, and continues to drive significant social impact.
