Amy Brooker

Amy is the Public Affairs Lead at the Women’s Budget Group (WBG), where she engages with stakeholders across the political spectrum to build the influence and impact of their research, working towards creating a gender-equal economy. Amy is also a part-time Senior Economics Researcher for an MP who serves on the Treasury Select Committee.

Amy began her career at a leading business association in 2015, and spent seven years there working in both Brussels and London across a range of policy areas, including EU trade and Covid. In 2022, she transitioned to the women’s sector, joining Surviving Economic Abuse as Executive Assistant to the CEO before joining WBG in 2023. She has a Master’s in Women and Child Abuse from London Metropolitan University, where her dissertation created a new methodology for calculating the true rate of underfunding for rape crisis centres.

Coming from a long line of South Londoners, Amy spent many childhood weekends at Selhurst Park. A competitive athlete, she’s passionate about women's representation in sport. She is one of the few women to have completed an Ironman triathlon (only 25% of finishers are women) and this year has decided that rowing is the new male-dominated sport to conquer.
