Bex Smith is a World Cup and Olympic football captain and Champions League winner who now builds businesses in the women's game. She speaks on leadership, teamwork, and innovation, drawing on what she has learned on the pitch and in the boardroom.
Bex launched Crux Football with an investor group that includes Abby Wambach, Julie Foudy, Leslie Osborne, Sue Bird, Jen Beattie, Ali Krieger, and, most recently, Gillian Anderson. Crux owns two women's football clubs, Montpellier in France and FC Rosengård in Sweden. Her executive career also includes serving as Global Executive Director at COPA90 and founding JAMAA sports productions.
That mix of elite competition and ownership gives Bex a rare view of football, from governance and investment to brand collaboration and team culture. She knows how high-performing teams are put together, how to bring investors and partners behind a shared plan, and what it takes to grow a women's club.
Audiences hear how a captain's approach to leadership carries into a company, how to build trust and standards in a team, and what the business of women's sport looks like from the inside.
Book Bex for a leadership session grounded in elite sport and club ownership.

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.
