Emilie Bellet
Transform financial confidence with Emilie Bellet, speaker, financial empowerment expert and bestselling author. Emilie works with organisations to break money taboos, build financial literacy and foster women's economic independence, featured in BBC, Forbes, Financial Times and Vogue.


Emilie Bellet is the founder and CEO of Vestpod and the author of Amazon bestseller “You're Not Broke You're Pre-Rich”.
Emilie launched Vestpod to change the conversation about money and empower women financially.
Formerly working in private equity, Emilie started her career at Lehman Brothers where she worked as an analyst in private equity merchant banking.
Reflecting on her years working in finance, she realised she was not saving or investing enough and could not find the support to do so.
She then decided to launch Vestpod to provide education and a community for women to start breaking the taboo around money.
Vestpod has been featured everywhere, including BBC News, Forbes, The Telegraph, The Guardian, the FT and Vogue to Glamour, Refinery29, Huffpost, Sheerluxe, Bustle, Harper's Bazaar, Courier and Cosmopolitan.
Emilie also has a monthly finance column in i Paper, and recently contributed a chapter on "Babies and Budgets" to Davina McCall's guide to pregnancy and birth.
Topics, sessions and talks
Almost 8 in 10 UK employees take their money worries to work, affecting their performance (Money & Pensions Service). Research by Neyber estimates that money worries cost the UK economy £120bn and 17.5 million lost hours of work. Most employers now recognise a link between financial wellbeing and productivity, with nine out of ten saying that financial concerns impact upon staff performance. Employers have a key role to play. Financial empowerment is important to help employees feel secure and manage their money effectively and improve their financial wellbeing. This includes understanding products and services available to them in the workforce.
With the cost of living crisis, inflation and rising interest rates it's no wonder a lot of us are feeling lost about what to do with our finances. Let’s discuss why this is happening and I will also share tips and tricks to making sure you’re being as savvy as possible with your money during this tough economic time. If you want to protect your money, it’s important you tighten any loose ends, review all your spending habits / credit and have a clear plan on how you will repay any loans.
Emilie Bellet offers your team the unique opportunity to gain insights from a former Lehman Brothers analyst turned financial empowerment leader. Her expertise in finance, combined with her passion for educating women on money matters, will inspire and equip your team with the tools for financial success.

To book Emilie Bellet, email hello@getapeptalk.com or call PepTalk on +44 20 3835 2929 (UK) or +1 737 888 5112 (US), and one of our speaker agents will contact you within hours to confirm Emilie's availability and speaking fee. If you can, please include your budget upfront – it helps us fast-track your request. It’s also helpful to know the date, format (virtual or in-person), location, and about your audience.
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.
