Services
I work across four areas: consulting on tech, data and AI policy and government and public affairs strategy; panel chairing and moderation; public-speaking coaching; and media and commentary. Each is described below.
My consulting covers tech, data and AI policy, and formulating and delivering government and public affairs strategies to influence legislation and policy development. I also chair and moderate panels, and coach individuals and groups in public speaking.

1 to 1 Public Speaking Training
Great public speaking is rarely innate. It comes from training, practice and hard work, and everyone has the potential to become a great speaker. I work with individuals to help them prepare for speeches, panels and media interactions. Coaching is personalised and tailored to your needs - I can help you with presentations, forming and shaping speeches, public speaking techniques and calming your nerves. Whether it is for a university or job interview, an industry presentation, a wedding speech, or a conference keynote speech, I can support you to be your best.

Panel Chair and Moderator
I work with corporations, businesses and events companies to moderate, chair and speak on panels, as well as to deliver keynote speeches. Whether you’re arranging an internal event, an industry-wide conference, or looking for someone to deliver a keynote speech on topics such as confidence, empowerment or tackling inequalities, I can ensure that your speakers have a chance to shine, that your event is a success and that your audience leave feeling enthused, informed and invigorated by the session. I have interviewed and moderated panels with politicians, business leaders, industry specialists and academics including Dr Shashi Tharoor, The Rt. Hon. Sir Hugh Robertson KCMG DL, William Dalrymple and Mr GP Hinduja.
Event Direction, Hosting and Speaker Management
From intimate roundtables to conference-scale receptions, I take on the whole event from start to finish. I design the programme and run the room as host and master of ceremonies. I also curate, secure and personally brief the speakers, up to and including Cabinet-level and ministerial names, so every contribution lands with confidence and the evening runs flawlessly. Most recently I hosted and compered a 200-guest reception at Conservative Party Conference, and organised and briefed its speakers, which included a High Commissioner and former Cabinet ministers.
