Debbie Wosskow CBE is a serial entrepreneur and investor who has spent two decades building companies and widening women's access to capital, boardrooms, and health services.
She founded Love Home Swap and sold it to Wyndham for $53 million in 2017, co-founded the women's career network AllBright, and wrote Believe, Build, Become with Anna Jones. She co-chairs the government-backed Invest in Women Taskforce, sits on the board of Channel 4, chairs The Better Menopause, and advises McKinsey and Company.
The Taskforce has raised over £635 million against an initial £250 million target, and Debbie speaks with candour about what actually moves money towards female founders. Her government review, Unlocking the Sharing Economy, shaped national policy, so she can explain how commercial and political decisions pull on each other. She also hosts the Grit and Grace podcast on midlife and women's health.
Audiences leave with a clear read on where investment bias sits inside their own organisation, practical routes to funding for women building companies, and a frank account of what growing and selling a business demands. Debbie works from her own numbers rather than theory.
Book Debbie Wosskow for an audience that wants specifics on backing women.
Debbie Wosskow CBE built and sold two companies before turning to the question of why women receive so little of the capital. She now co-chairs the Taskforce moving hundreds of millions towards female founders, which makes her useful to any organisation serious about where its investment decisions land.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
