safer design. Disrupting financial abuse.
Catherine Fitzpatrick is a former bank executive and the international authority on financial safety by design. She created Designed to Disrupt® to expose how domestic abusers exploit everyday products and services – and to help you recognise risks and protect yourself.
What isn’t designed to protect will be exploited to harm.
Safety isn’t accidental. It’s designed.
As technology accelerates faster than safeguards, Catherine delivers high-impact keynotes that reframe safety as innovation – and equip you to respond to emerging risks to women’s financial independence.
For questions you can’t ignore.
For harm hiding in the everyday.
For leadership that can’t wait.
