Public speaking

 
 

As digital media shifts at an unprecedented pace, I am passionate about sharing actionable insights, data-led strategies, and cultural trends with both industry peers and large-scale consumer audiences. From navigating intense, high-volume newsrooms to steering the long-term digital roadmap for award-winning media brands like Stylist, my career has been defined by staying ahead of the curve. On stage, I translate this hands-on, senior operational experience into forward-thinking keynotes, panel discussions, and live event hosting.

My recent speaking and hosting engagements span major industry summits and flagship consumer events:

  • Stylist Live (2022 & 2025): Stepped onto the main stage as a live presenter and host for Stylist’s flagship consumer festival. Grounded in my deep connection to our audience demographics, I anchored live segments and high-profile discussions, bringing the brand’s editorial vision to life in front of thousands of live attendees.

  • Business of Apps Summit (2026): Led a deep-dive session on the practical integration of AI tools within the modern newsroom, while upholding brand values. I shared blueprints on how media brands can leverage new tech to drive strategic efficiencies and accelerate growth without sacrificing editorial integrity or core brand values.

  • The Publishing Summit (2025): Delivered an impact-focused talk on digital product evolution and app engagement. Drawing from Stylist's successful pivot toward a diversified subscription model, I broke down the strategies required to convert transient web traffic into a loyal, high-retention app community.

Beyond the stage, I am deeply committed to driving creative excellence and knowledge-sharing across the media landscape. I frequently contribute to cross-industry digital initiatives across the DC Thomson network and have lent my expertise as an industry judge for The Drum Awards for Online Media and the MHPC 30 To Watch: Young Journalist Awards. Whether addressing room-wide strategies for multi-channel growth or connecting directly with consumers from the main stage, I aim to provide a dynamic, authoritative voice on the future of media.
