CGS Communications

My name’s Chantal, and I’m a PR and Communications professional with almost a decade of experience working in tech and fintech.

I spent the first part of my career in a range of agencies, looking after clients like Amex, LinkedIn, eBay, Klarna, Personio, and Tink.

I then moved in-house to Wise (formerly TransferWise) where I spent the last four years leading our UK PR efforts.


Whether you’re a pre-seed startup just beginning to deal with the media, or a global PLC managing regular CNBC interviews, I can support and advise on the best and most impactful ways of managing your communications.

I also run an initiative called The Heard.

The Heard is designed to get more women and non-binary people into public opportunities within fintech. We host 75+ speakers and work with a range of the biggest events and podcasts in the fintech industry.

When you work with me, you support my efforts in improving diversity in fintech media.
