Debbie Wosskow OBE is a trailblazer for female empowerment and digital transformation. She is renowned as the founder and former CEO of Love Home Swap, a successful home exchange website business that she sold for an impressive $53 million in 2017.

Debbie is also the co-founder of AllBright, the world's largest women's network, which has recently focused on fostering female participation in Web3. Through AllBright, she has launched an NFT collection and a members' club in the metaverse.

In addition to her entrepreneurial ventures, Debbie holds advisory roles, including Senior Advisor at McKinsey and a position on the Mayor of London's Business Advisory Board. Her expertise has been crucial in advising the UK government on various business matters, such as leading the independent review 'Unlocking the Sharing Economy' (Wosskow Report) in 2015, and participating in the government's Industrial Strategy Board and Productivity Council. She is widely recognised as a key figure in the sharing economy.

Debbie co-authored the book Believe, Build, Become - how to supercharge your career and serves on the Women's Prize for Fiction Board. Her accomplishments have led to numerous accolades, including being honoured as 'Evening Standard' Entrepreneur of the Year and being featured in 'Management Today' 35 Under 35.

She earned an MA in Philosophy and Theology from New College, Oxford, and displayed her entrepreneurial spirit by starting her first company, Mantra PR, with just £3,000 at age 25.

Passionate about empowering women by improving their access to capital and advocating for greater wealth and opportunity equality, Debbie co-founded AllBright in 2018. The organisation supports female entrepreneurs in expanding their networks and securing funding.

Debbie also speaks on the importance of creating inclusive spaces and helping companies appeal to female consumers, all while promoting feminism and team diversity. Through AllBright's metaverse clubhouse and NFT collection, Debbie actively encourages female representation and entrepreneurship in the predominantly male-dominated tech field. To ensure that men do not monopolise blockchain and decentralised tech, they reinvest 5% of NFT revenue in a female web3 talent incubator.

Debbie is swiftly becoming an authority on web3, NFTs, and the metaverse, offering valuable insights into their potential to revolutionise content creation, capital ownership, and global communities. Her expertise extends beyond web3 to traditional internet technologies, drawing from her experiences with Love Home Swap and AllBright and her background at McKinsey in online platforms, networks, and marketing.

Debbie's contributions to British businesses have been recognised with an OBE. Her core values emphasise the strength of community and the importance of female inclusion in advancing innovation. Her contributions are highly valued in discussions supporting female entrepreneurship and empowerment, including for high-profile events like London's "She Sets The Standard".

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. 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.

Can I request a speaker to send a personal greeting?

We do not accommodate requests for birthday messages or any other personal, non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How much do speakers and comedians cost?

We work with speakers across a variety of fee ranges, giving you the flexibility to choose someone who fits your event's needs. Virtual keynote fees in the UK and Europe typically start at £2,000, while in-person top-tier speakers can reach £25,000. In the US, virtual in-person fees range from $5,000 to over $100,000, depending on the speaker and format, such as after-dinner talks, conference keynotes, Q&As, or podcasts.

Our goal is to help you find the speaker who best matches your event’s goals and budget. We take the time to understand your event, objectives, and audience to recommend the right fit. The most expensive option isn’t always the best one, and our priority is finding the ideal speaker or expert for your needs; not the highest-priced one.
