Eliza Filby
Generational Sociologist & Customer Expectations Expert
Eliza Filby approaches customer experience as a reflection of society, not a service process. A generational sociologist and historian, she focuses on how changing family structures, work patterns, economic pressures, and cultural values shape what customers notice, tolerate, and trust.
Her perspective challenges simplistic generational labels. Eliza examines how expectations evolve across life stages, and why organisations misread customers when they rely on age-based assumptions rather than social context. She helps leaders recognise that loyalty, convenience, and service are judged through lived experience, not demographic segments.
Her talks are sharp, thoughtful, and grounded in social reality. They help organisations design customer experiences that remain relevant across generations by understanding how expectations form, shift, and collide long before customers ever engage.
