Sacha Romanovitch made history when she became the first female CEO of a major accounting firm, having led Grant Thornton UK and joined its global board. Her leadership focused on transforming the firm into a modern business prioritising diversity, responsibility, personal development, openness, and collaboration.

Sacha began her career studying chemistry at university and later qualified as an accountant. She joined Grant Thornton, where she spent over twenty-five years. Within ten years, she became a Partner and was the first board member responsible for People and Culture. As CEO, she aimed to break down barriers within the organisation and the professional services sector, which often resisted change. She emphasised understanding the values and purpose of a business and its people, believing that engagement and development opportunities could encourage even the most resistant individuals to embrace change.

Under Sacha's leadership, Grant Thornton fostered a culture of shared enterprise and purpose-driven profit. The firm shifted its recruitment focus from academic achievements to potential contributions, enhancing diversity and creating a more open and innovative environment. In her final year as CEO, Sacha was ranked among the top 50 CEOs in the Glassdoor index, with a 94% employee approval rating. The firm received several accolades, including the Queen’s Award for Enterprise and a top ranking on the UK Social Mobility Index.

Currently, Sacha is the CEO of Fair4All Finance, which aims to improve the financial wellbeing of vulnerable individuals. She co-chairs the Inclusive Economy Partnership, a government initiative addressing mental health, transition to work, and financial inclusion. Additionally, she serves on the board of London & Partners, working with the Mayor of London’s office to promote the city internationally. Sacha has also contributed to reviews on diversity, social mobility, and issues affecting the auditing industry.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. We work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

Can I request a speaker to send a personal greeting?

We do not accommodate requests for birthday messages or any other personal, non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How much do speakers and comedians cost?

We work with speakers across a variety of fee ranges, giving you the flexibility to choose someone who fits your event's needs. Virtual keynote fees in the UK and Europe typically start at £2,000, while in-person top-tier speakers can reach £25,000. In the US, virtual in-person fees range from $5,000 to over $100,000, depending on the speaker and format, such as after-dinner talks, conference keynotes, Q&As, or podcasts. Comedians generally start at £1,500 or $2,000 for a 20-minute set.

Our goal is to help you find the speaker who best matches your event’s goals and budget. We take the time to understand your event, objectives, and audience to recommend the right fit. The most expensive option isn’t always the best one, and our priority is finding the ideal speaker or expert for your needs; not the highest-priced one.
