"I’m the Founder and Director of Fortuna FX - I’m a 44 year old women with a passion for gender diversity and change. I’m a single mum of 3 children - they give me my inner strength to thrive in a male dominated world...... these little humans make the fire in my belly rage and gives me the emotional fuel for my journey!  

Fortuna FX is a foreign exchange deliverables brokerage who help the corporate and private sector to move money globally. Our ethos is simple.... relationship over profit!

The reality and dream came true on 15th January 2020 by identifying a ‘niche’ in the FX sector to make small changes and make sure the client comes first with an honest & transparent approach. The pandemic has been tough for many of our clients and delivering them a consistent service has been the answer. Fortuna has been able to pivot through the ‘work from home’ era with some tricks and unique formulas to grow the business to where it is today!"

The event will be held on Zoom and is free-to-attend and open to all. The Zoom link will be sent out prior to the day.
