galvanizer
One who spurs
A galvanizer is someone or something that spurs others into action or awareness.
The word derives from galvanize, which originally meant to stimulate with electric current but now typically means to shock into activity: She was the galvanizer behind the protest movement.
In industrial contexts, a galvanizer applies zinc coating to metal to prevent rust.
