Alice Fulwood Keynote Speaker

Alice Fulwood serves as The Economist‘s Wall Street correspondent, focusing on the dynamics of banking and the financial architecture in America. She is also the co-host of Money Talks, a podcast by The Economist that covers the economy, business, and the world of finance.

In 2019 she won the “Young Journalist of the Year” award from the Wincott Foundation for her work on quantitative investing and technology in finance. She was nominated for the Wincott “Journalist of the Year” in 2021 due to her pioneering work on digital currencies and decentralized finance systems. In a landmark initiative in October 2021, she issued an image of the cover of The Economist as a non-fungible token (NFT), which The Economist auctioned off for charity. This digital asset fetched $420,000, with all net proceeds benefiting The Economist Education Foundation, a standalone entity committed to educational outreach.

Alice joined The Economist in 2018 on an internship sponsored by the Marjorie Deane Foundation, where she is now a trustee. Prior to that she worked in Singapore as an economist for a large European investment bank. She also worked as a foreign exchange spot and derivatives sales trader in London. Alice graduated from Pembroke College at the University of Cambridge, where she studied economics.

As a speaker, Alice Fulwood regularly anchors panel discussions, conducts fireside chats, and features in media interviews, shedding light on her extensive research and findings.

She is based in New York and Washington, D.C., contributing her expertise to a broad spectrum of financial discourse.
