As one of the world’s leading journalists covering organised crime and tech, Geoff White has spent decades investigating the shadowy forces of fraudsters, hackers and money launderers. His work’s been featured by BBC News, Audible, Sky News, The Sunday Times and many more.

His latest book, "Rinsed", reveals technology’s impact on the underground industry of money laundering and was published by Penguin Random House in June 2024 (“Riveting” – The Financial Times).

He has given more than 300 keynote talks in more than a dozen countries for some of the biggest global brands, including Microsoft, HSBC, Sky, Mastercard and Atos.

His last book, "The Lazarus Heist" was published by Penguin Random House in June 2022. It sprang from the hit 20-part BBC podcast series of the same name, which Geoff co-hosted and which immediately ranked number one in the UK Apple chart and within the top 7 in the US.

An experienced public speaker, he has presented at some of the UK’s largest conferences, in addition to hosting events and chairing panels at venues ranging from London’s Chatham House think-tank to the Latitude music festival.
