Financial Empowerment

Emilie Bellet is on a mission to financially empower women. On average, women’s pensions are £100,000 less than men’s due to gender pay gap and childcare commitments. There is also a £15 billion gender investment gap in the UK. Emilie strongly believes that we can change these stats. She wants to help women to strive to be more financially independent, to live their lives on their terms, while feeling secure and confident about their present and future.
