Sophie Thurner

Sophie Thurner is founder of beatvest, a white-label activation and conversion engine that banks, brokers and insurers embed into their own apps and websites. beatvest takes customers sitting in a current account, savings account or cash ISA and moves them into their first investment or pension contribution using short, gamified education to get them there. Think Duolingo, but for money. Around half of the users beatvest activates are women, roughly double the German market average. Before founding beatvest, Sophie worked in financial regulation at the UK's FCA and with the US SEC. She is one of Germany's most recognised voices on financial literacy, a bestselling author and TEDx speaker on AI and personal finance.
