I am an experienced event host and speaker.
I’ve worked regularly with Harper’s Bazaar magazine, moderating panels at their Global Summits and also at their Women of the World dinner sponsored by Chanel.
I have moderated numerous debates between:
- Baroness Helena Kennedy QC and neuroscientist Gina Rippon
- news podcaster Emily Maitlis, Detective Superintendent with the Metropolitan Police Tor Garnett, and campaigner Gina Miller
- Michelin-starred chef Clare Smyth, journalist Sarah Sands, and business leader and 1st female Chief Executive of Lloyd’s of London Inga Beale.
I also love hosting awards ceremonies!
Nothing is more exciting than seeing people recognised for their achievements and effort.
The winner of the Contrarian Prize 2024 was former Greater Manchester Police detective Maggie Oliver. Maggie resigned from the force in 2012 in disgust over its neglect in handling the grooming scandal of young girls in Rochdale, having battled for 18 months internally without success. She then established a foundation, and dedicates her life to supporting the victims.
