Fee Band


Cecilie's experiences, as documented in the Netflix series The Tinder Swindler, has seen her become an international advocate for change and a role model of resilience and determination for fraud victims. Through her personal story she explores how technology has created a new type of crime, what regulators and businesses need to do to tackle it, and how education, empathy and knowledge are essential for us all to build a more trusting, safer online world.


Biography

Cecilie Fjellhøy received international attention after she shared the story of her personal financial fraud nightmare. The Tinder Swindler became the most-watched documentary of all time on Netflix. It showcased a group of women, all victims of a dating app-based fraudster, who teamed up to hunt him down and recover the millions of dollars that were stolen from them.

A senior UX designer for software business Sopra Steria, Cecilie's life changed dramatically after the events depicted in The Tinder Swindler series. Leaving the tech industry, she co-founded the LoveSaid Organisation with Anna Rowe, which aims to assist the victims of fraud by providing practical and mental health support, as well as education and training on the strategies used by fraudsters.

With a decade of expertise in user experience design and innovation in the tech industry, Cecilie saw an opportunity to use that knowledge to further the anti-fraud cause. With experience working with digital identity and the banking system, she passionately advocates for the inclusion of the victims' voice in discussions around changes to process, law and regulation, a message she has taken around the world.

Cecilie shares her gripping, moving story, raising awarness of fraud, and destigmatising those taken in by increasingly sophisticated perpetrators and technology. Covering everything from online trust to cyber security, digital identity to mental health, diversity and resilience, she challenges audiences to be empathetic, cautious and informed.
