Female Financial Empowerment
Money is the soundtrack to our lives. From squeezing a fistful of sweaty pennies as we navigated pick and mix treats, to the pounds earned during a Saturday job, to your first paycheck and last pension contribution. Given that it’s an ever-present force pulsing through every part of our interaction…
Money is the soundtrack to our lives. From squeezing a fistful of sweaty pennies as we navigated pick and mix treats, to the pounds earned during a Saturday job, to your first paycheck and last pension contribution. Given that it’s an ever-present force pulsing through every part of our interaction with the world – you’d think that by now we’d have got the hang of it. Instead, money is a worry. It can keep us up at night. It can extinguish our hopes. It can lead to depression. Women effectively work for free for nearly two months of the year compared to the average man. Women are also losing out when it comes to investments, as they are far less likely to invest, which puts them at a financial disadvantage in the long term. Men have billions more in stocks and shares ISAs, investment accounts and pensions. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Susannah, as head of money and markets for Hargreaves Lansdown, an ambassador for the campaign Financially Fearless and a campaigner for equal pay at the BBC, unlocks the mysteries of the financial system. She helps build the knowledge manual to help women negotiate getting a better deal at home, work and in the world of investments.

How to find resilience in a fractured world
‘’We are facing an increasingly fractured economic and political world, so finding new forums of communication and collaboration to find our way through the fog of war and corporate dislocation and are increasingly vital.’’ Susannah has a unique view of the power of communication and how it can help change…
‘’We are facing an increasingly fractured economic and political world, so finding new forums of communication and collaboration to find our way through the fog of war and corporate dislocation and are increasingly vital.’’
Susannah has a unique view of the power of communication and how it can help change the world for the better. This spans from her early days in uniform as the founding member of the Royal Air Force combat camera team when she used the power of film to enact change, to her senior anchor position for the BBC, up until now as a sought-after analyst and chair of politically sensitive global debates. She talks about how to build resilience, how to prepare for future shocks and how navigate fractured debates by bringing polarized views together.
‘’True inclusivity involves bringing all views together, often no matter wide the gulf appears to be. We need to learn from ignored groups as well as ostracized but powerful individuals, and rather than shutting down unwelcome voices, and create new cross feed lines of dialogue alongside traditional institutions.’’

Cryptocurrencies - Why the collision of crypto and celebrity worlds could hold back Fin Tech.
‘Social media and the crypto world have collided with Kim Kardashian’s single post about a token considered to be the biggest financial promotion in history.’ As head of money and markets Susannah has witnessed the FOMO effect wave which gathered speed since the pandemic, and has swept vulnerable consumers up…
‘Social media and the crypto world have collided with Kim Kardashian’s single post about a token considered to be the biggest financial promotion in history.’ As head of money and markets Susannah has witnessed the FOMO effect wave which gathered speed since the pandemic, and has swept vulnerable consumers up in a frenzy of speculation. As trade turmoil shakes markets again, its putting crypto under pressure, potentially catching out speculators who have tried to ride the wave. Hopes that President Trump will be a catalyst for the crypto industry have faded as his punishing trade policy has hit financial markets hard. The boom of high-risk investing has already caused huge nervousness among regulators, with the Financial Conduct Authority increasingly concerned. Now, with the cost-of-living squeeze intensifying, Susannah argues the focus should instead be on ensuring consumers have a resilient pile of savings and lower risk investments to fall back on. While the charge of new younger customers into the stock markets is a welcome trend, there is woeful knowledge about the financial dangers of investing in high-risk products, which include investment-based crowdfunding. It’s clear that education needs to be sharpened up pretty pronto. But there are also risks of going in too hard on the regulatory front. There has been a hesitancy until now about bringing crypto currencies into the regulatory sphere because of the risk it will add more legitimacy to the currencies. Regulators and central banks are walking a tricky tightrope, recognizing the need to foster new decentralized payments technology while ensuring enough rules are in place to prevent runaway speculation infecting the wider financial sector. If the environment is made too cumbersome there is a risk that innovation in the fast-moving world of decentralized finance could be quashed, slowing down the efficiency of operations and leaving the UK behind countries which are welcoming crypto with open arms.

Biography
About Susannah Streeter
Susannah Streeter is a global financial commentator, Chief Investment Strategist at Wealth Club and an international keynote speaker and conference chair. She leads market and economic commentary at Wealth Club, helping investors understand volatility, build resilient portfolios and deal with uncertainty, with a particular focus on long-term opportunities.
A former BBC Business Anchor with 17 years on air, Susannah has interviewed global CEOs, policymakers and world leaders, and has anchored coverage from major international events. She also served as a Squadron Leader in the RAF Reserves, experience that continues to shape her approach to leadership and decision-making under pressure.
Today, she works with organisations worldwide, delivering bespoke keynotes and chairing senior-level discussions that bring clarity, confidence and perspective in uncertain times.
Why book Susannah as a keynote speaker?
Susannah brings a rare combination of deep financial expertise, real-time global insight and the ability to communicate complex issues clearly and calmly.
Alongside her role as Chief Investment Strategist and global commentator, she is regularly invited to chair and host senior international conferences across sectors including finance, energy, artificial intelligence and geopolitics. That means she is constantly immersed in high-level discussions with CEOs, policymakers, regulators and industry leaders, gaining first-hand insight into the challenges organisations are facing right now.
She brings those insights directly into her keynotes. Audiences benefit not just from analysis of markets and the global economy, but from patterns, pressures and perspectives drawn from multiple industries and regions. Her content is current, grounded and shaped by what leaders are actually dealing with, not theory or recycled material.
Organisations book Susannah when they want:
• Clear, authoritative insight into global economic and market conditions
• Content that is genuinely bespoke to their industry and moment in time
• A speaker who understands decision-making at senior levels
• Practical frameworks for navigating uncertainty and volatility
• Confidence, clarity and momentum rather than noise or speculation
Why book Susannah as a conference chair or moderator?
Susannah is trusted to chair and host some of the world’s most senior and complex events because she brings both credibility and control.
Her background as a BBC broadcaster, combined with her work as a global financial commentator and strategist, means she understands how to manage live conversations at pace, ask intelligent questions, and draw meaningful insight from senior figures without losing the audience.
Crucially, she does not treat chairing as a purely on-stage role. By working with organisers early, she helps shape discussions so panels are focused, coherent and genuinely valuable, rather than a series of disconnected viewpoints.
Clients repeatedly rebook Susannah as a chair because she:
• Commands the room with authority and calm assurance
• Asks incisive, well-informed questions that move conversations forward
• Understands complex global issues across multiple sectors
• Keeps panels focused, balanced and engaging
• Helps audiences leave with clarity, not just commentary
Whether hosting a global summit, moderating a leadership panel or chairing a multi-day conference, her role is to elevate the discussion and ensure the event delivers substance as well as stature.
