Why book a tariffs and trade speaker?
Trade policy is moving faster than most organisations can track. Tariffs that weren't on anyone's radar 18 months ago are now reshaping supply chains, pricing decisions, and market strategies across every major sector. For boards and leadership teams, the question is no longer whether this affects them. It's how quickly they can get ahead of it.
Booking a tariffs and trade speaker gives your team the context to make better decisions. These aren't academic overviews. The right speaker translates a shifting geopolitical and regulatory landscape into practical implications for your business, your industry, and your competitors.
PepTalk works with economists, former trade negotiators, policy experts, and business strategists who can speak to this moment with authority and specificity. Whether you're planning a leadership forum, an investor event, or a company conference, we'll find the speaker who fits the conversation you need to have.
