Financial journalism and broadcasting

She also launched and hosted The Times’ Feel Better About Money podcast, bringing her approachable style to conversations designed to help people engage more confidently with financial subjects. Across these different formats, Holly’s strength lies in identifying what matters, asking the questions audiences want answered and explaining complex ideas without losing the detail that makes them meaningful.

An experienced host and moderator
As an event host and moderator, Holly Mead brings the skills of an experienced interviewer to the stage. She regularly chairs panels, hosts live events and conducts on-stage interviews, creating discussions that are informative without becoming overly technical or formal.
Holly is particularly skilled at getting the best out of guests. Her journalistic curiosity helps her identify the questions that can move a conversation forward, while her warm and down-to-earth manner allows speakers to open up and share their knowledge naturally. She listens closely, follows interesting threads and keeps discussions focused on what will be most valuable for the audience.
Holly can contribute to an event through:
- Hosting and guiding live events with energy and a clear sense of direction.
- Chairing panel discussions and bringing different perspectives into a coherent conversation.
- Conducting engaging on-stage interviews with high-profile speakers and other guests.
- Speaking about personal finance, business, the economy, money mindset and the gender finance gap.

Her experience across journalism and broadcasting also means she is comfortable adapting to different guests, subjects and event formats while maintaining the pace and focus of the conversation.
Money conversations audiences can connect with
Money affects almost every part of life, yet financial subjects can quickly become filled with jargon or feel disconnected from people’s everyday experiences. Holly Mead specialises in closing that gap.
Her approach is grounded in clarity and relevance. Rather than making a subject more complicated than it needs to be, she finds the human questions within it. What does an economic development mean for people in practice? Why do we make certain decisions about money? How do attitudes towards finances affect our behaviour? And how can complicated issues be discussed in a way that encourages audiences to engage rather than switch off?
These questions make Holly an engaging contributor to conversations about personal finance and the economy, as well as broader topics including money mindset and the gender finance gap. Her ability to combine facts with an understanding of how people actually experience money allows her to bring financial discussions closer to the audience.
For organisations looking to create an event around money, business or economic themes, Holly offers the journalistic background to understand the subject and the communication skills to make it resonate.
