An expertly guided discussion elevates critical messages to new heights of clarity and resonance. With an experienced moderator drawing out meaningful perspectives and sharpening key points, impactful ideas land with ease. As the audience is engaged, they are inspired to reflect, connect, and act on what they’ve heard.
“A master of distilling essential messages from a complex narrative.”
EMCEE / HOST
I’m honored to be the recurring emcee of choice for major conferences and leading organizations around the world. Event organizers rely on me to seamlessly unify complex and wide-ranging topics, creating a cohesive experience that brings the event’s vision to life.
With a blend of energy, insight, and sophistication, I connect meaningfully with diverse and discerning audiences, setting the tone and pace so that each moment resonates. My aim is to elevate every experience, leaving attendees engaged, inspired, and ready to act.
“Quick on her feet and a great command of the stage.”
MODERATOR
As an accomplished moderator, I create environments where my guests shine and our shared audience leaves inspired. From dynamic panel discussions to intimate fireside chats, I’ve led conversations with heads of state, CEOs, business leaders, and industry experts.
Informed and prepared without exception, I ask incisive questions that bring out authentic insights and highlight my guests’ expertise. With a readiness to engage the audience and foster lively interactions, the audience is left with a memorable experience that resonates long after the event ends.
“Spectacular, as always.”
ON-CAMERA HOST
As a former television host and broadcast anchor, I bring a commanding on-camera presence and a genuine connection with audiences. My work with leading broadcasters—BBC, Discovery Channel, Fine Living, and others—has sharpened my ability to communicate complex ideas with warmth and clarity.
I’m passionate about illuminating issues through impactful storytelling and drawing audiences into meaningful conversations. This commitment has led me back to my journalistic roots each year at the World Economic Forum, and for several years I had the privilege of working alongside Al Gore as a host for his ‘24 Hours of Reality’ live broadcast.
