With Carla Hoppe
Carla is the founder of Wealthbrite, whose mission is to help businesses cultivate financially and commercially savvy talent. Wealthbrite was born out of Carla's understanding of the critical need to bridge the financial skills gap, especially among early-career professionals. This gap is striking; while those at the top are fluent in the language of money, new starters lack the confidence and knowledge they need. The result? Poor financial literacy is costing the economy over £20 billion in lost output every year. In a rapidly evolving work environment, where businesses struggle to retain talent and social mobility in the UK is declining for the first time in 50 years, financial literacy is more crucial than ever.
Carla is a passionate advocate for greater financial literacy, with a mission to eradicate the sense of feeling lost in the world of money and finance for young people entering the workforce so they can go on to become economically secure.
With a diverse career spanning law and financial services at prestigious firms like PwC and EY, Carla brings a wealth of experience to her role as the founder of Wealthbrite. Her journey as a mixed heritage woman and first-gen professional who went on to have a successful career in finance has given her unique insights into the challenges faced by young professionals navigating the complex world of personal and business finance.
