Katie Dunsworth-Reiach
An entrepreneur since the age of 24, Katie was discovered by Oprah in 2007 after co-founding the money-mentoring business Smart Cookies, and featured with her money group on the iconic talk show. In the heart of the financial crisis, Katie was among the first to make financial information engaging and relevant to women. By 2009, Katie was co-hosting her own W Network series and had co-authored the financial best seller Smart Cookies Guide to Making More Dough.
Today, Katie is an owner of Talk Shop - of one of Canada’s most disruptive PR and social media agencies. Katie believes in the importance of empowering women financially and professionally and has committed to raising the bar for pay and affordable childcare in Canada.
Today, Talk Shop offers industry leading maternity and parental top-up, flexible schedules and wellness packages to all employees. The company is consistently named among Canada’s Top 100 employers.
Katie continues to expand her love of business through programs like InResidence, a concept that allocates a portion of her company’s annual profits to incubating new ventures and creating new entrepreneurs from her team of talented employees. She is also a contributor to Global News and CTV Morning Live and remains an active volunteer for Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver and PowerPlay Young Entrepreneurs.
