Cecilie Fjellhoy's biography

At a glance

  • Romance fraud victim featured in The Tinder Swindler
  • Co-founder of LoveSaid supporting mental health for fraud victims
  • Named in Top 20 Fraud Experts and Top 10 Female Cyber Security Speakers
Cecilie Fjellhoy is a speaker whose personal journey through the world of financial fraud has resonated with audiences globally. In 2025, she takes centre stage in her own Netflix series, “Love Con Revenge”, which follows victims of romance scams as they work to reclaim their lives with help from Cecilie and private investigator Brianne Joseph. Her story first gained international attention after she bravely shared her experience of being defrauded, covered in VG's most-read article ever and later featured in the Netflix documentary "The Tinder Swindler". Cecilie’s willingness to expose her private life to the public eye has not only brought attention to the pervasive issue of fraud but has also provided solace and awareness to countless others who may find themselves in similar situations. Originally from Lillestrøm, just outside Oslo, Cecilie found herself thrust into an overwhelming media spotlight. Despite the challenges of navigating this new world, she recognised the importance of her story in helping others identify and avoid scams or destructive relationships. Her experience of being admitted to an emergency psychiatric unit due to the emotional toll of her ordeal further fuelled her passion for advocacy. With nearly a decade of experience as a usability designer in the IT industry, Cecilie has leveraged her digital identity and banking systems skills to champion the cause of fraud victims, and has been named one of the top fraud experts to follow worldwide by Trustfull. She has actively engaged with media, organisations, and policymakers worldwide to advocate for changes in processes, laws, and regulations that better protect victims. Extending this commitment, she founded the organisation LoveSaid, which provides mental health support and practical resources to those affected by fraud. Through her talks and presentations around the world, Cecilie shares her experiences with humility and respect, inspiring audiences to understand that life continues beyond victimhood. Her story is a testament to resilience and the power of speaking out against injustice, making her an influential figure in the fight against fraud.

Speaker fees vary by profile, format, and location. In the UK and Europe, virtual keynotes typically start around GBP 2,000, with top in-person speakers reaching GBP 25,000+; in the US, fees run from about USD 5,000 to USD 100,000+. Share your budget at getapeptalk.com and we'll shortlist to fit.

Can I book a speaker who isn't listed on the PepTalk website?

Yes. If a speaker isn't listed, tell PepTalk their name and the team will approach them for you. The network extends well beyond the public roster, and PepTalk regularly books speakers who don't appear on the site. Email hello@getapeptalk.com with the name.

Can PepTalk help plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. Beyond booking a single speaker, PepTalk helps shape a full programme, matching voices to your agenda, audience, and goals across a day or a series. It is a consultative service, not just a booking. Tell us about your event at getapeptalk.com.

What does 'typical fee range' mean?

Speaker fees vary based on factors like event location, format, and availability. The 'typical fee range' figure gives you a baseline of someone's local, in-person rate sits, and we'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch.

What logistics should I prepare before my speakers arrive?

Before your speakers arrive, confirm AV is tested, a green room is ready, and printed schedules are on hand. Prepare warm introductions for each speaker and brief your team on timings. PepTalk speakers come fully briefed, making event-day logistics smoother and stress-free from the start.

What's the difference between a keynote speaker, an MC, and event entertainment?

A keynote speaker delivers an inspiring or informative talk. An MC hosts and guides the event, keeping things on track. Entertainment — like a band or comedian — creates atmosphere and fun. Each serves a different purpose, and PepTalk can help you book the right talent for all three.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. Alongside direct talent, we work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies, to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

What information do I need to provide when booking a comedian?

When booking a comedian, share your event format, audience size and demographics, any sensitive topics to avoid, and the tone you're after. PepTalk makes this easy — their booking process guides you through a simple checklist so nothing gets missed and your comedian is perfectly matched to your crowd.

What information do I need to provide when booking a speaker?

When booking a speaker, you'll need your event date, audience details, format, key objectives, and budget. Having these ready makes the process smooth and straightforward. PepTalk's team uses this information to match you with the perfect speaker quickly and efficiently.

Can I book entertainment and speakers as a package?

Yes! At PepTalk, you can absolutely bundle entertainment and speakers into one seamless package. It's a great way to create a fuller event experience while enjoying simplified booking and better value. Our team handles everything together, making the process effortless for you.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.

Can I book a speaker for a virtual or hybrid event?

Yes. Most PepTalk speakers deliver virtual and hybrid sessions with live Q&A, and virtual keynotes usually cost less than in-person because there is no travel. Tell us your platform and format and we'll match speakers experienced in online delivery. Start at getapeptalk.com.

How do I brief an insights speaker on my organisation's strategic context?

Share your organisation's top 3 strategic priorities, current challenges, and the audience's role in delivering them. A simple one-page brief works perfectly. PepTalk speakers use this context to tailor insights that feel genuinely relevant — making your event far more impactful.

Can event entertainers customise their act for my company or industry?

Yes! Most event entertainers are happy to tailor their act to your brand, industry, or theme. From weaving in company jokes to incorporating your branding into their performance, personalisation makes all the difference.
