Bruce Whitfield
Business Speaker; Radio, TV, and Print Journalist
Whitfield’s refreshingly non-conformist, optimistic view of the world has seen him become South Africa’s most awarded financial journalist and a highly sought-after public speaker. As radio host of The Money Show on 702 and Cape Talk, Whitfield has won more awards for financial journalism than any other working South African media professional. A celebrated broadcaster, author, and TV presenter, he is also a contributing editor at the Financial Mail. His latest venture, The Upside of Down, is a bestselling book that is already selling out its second edition.
Whitfield removes the jargon from financial speak, makes complex concepts accessible, and kick-starts the conversations that’ll help move South Africa forward. An observer of humanity, he is first and foremost a storyteller.
