About Bridgid Nzekwu
Bridgid Nzekwu is renowned for taking a brief and getting the most out of speakers and any event, providing memorable content for marketing, advertising, sponsorship and thought leadership. Bridgid is also now available for inspirational keynote speeches, particularly on the topic of resilience, having recently recovered from ten hours of open heart surgery and previously enduring hodgkin lymphoma and breast cancer.
Bridgid Nzekwu is the Director of Media Training at PA Media Group, coaching high-profile spokespeople in public speaking, media interview skills and crisis communication. She was named Outstanding Woman in Professional Services at the 2018 Precious Awards.
A former Channel 4 News anchor and specialist Money Reporter, Bridgid was a finalist at the Business Journalist of the Year awards in 2009. She later became a newsreader for ITV News. Before moving into journalism, she worked in the tech sector, advising companies on digitisation strategies and new media development.
Bridgid has hosted, moderated and conducted interviews for clients such as Lloyds Banking Group, Sainsburys plc, HotTopics, Takeda pharmaceuticals, NHS England and the Fairtrade Foundation in venues including the Las Vegas Convention Center, Gleneagles, the Belfry, and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. She is an engaging and sought-after host for virtual events too, for example the biennial World Hydropower Congress, for which she has interviewed international figures such as Mark Carney, former Bank of England Governor, on financing sustainable, renewable energy markets.
Additionally, Bridgid has developed a specialist interest in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, complementary therapies, nutrition, resilience and wellness. This stems from her personal experience of surviving cancer twice and undergoing open heart surgery. She has presented programmes for the Embarrassing Bodies series (Channel 4) and written in the Sunday Times about undergoing radical breast cancer surgery and treatment. In her spare time, she has studied anatomy and physiology and in 2020 qualified with distinction in reflexology.
