Testimonials

"As he is a high-profile speaker, we required a host with a deep knowledge and experience of the tech sector. Zoe was fantastic throughout. She was well-prepared beforehand, completely professional on-stage and a delight to work with off-stage. I would not hesitate to recommend her to host any live talk or panel discussion. I hope to see her at the Royal Institution again soon."

Martin Davies, Public Programme Manager, Royal Institution

"Zoe moderated a breakfast panel discussion for us focusing on managing cyber security crises, bringing together IT, operational, legal and communications experts. Zoe brought an incredible amount to the conversation, asking insightful poignant questions which allowed the cross-functional experts to share intelligence that resonated with the audience. Her unrivalled finger-on-the-pulse observations on who had got it right, and wrong, and how journalists would respond added credence to the discussion. Following our great experience on this project, we also interviewed Zoe to understand burning technology trends that matter to her audience, to inform a wider thought leadership piece for a board level client. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed working together."

Lauren Welford, Associate Director, Ketchum

"Zoe, thank you SO much for the brilliant job you did chairing Digital Day today. You kept us all on track and your knowledge and expertise was spot on for the Q&A. I realise it was quite full on with little break for you, so thank you for your time, commitment and energy!"

Elise MacDonald, Joint Managing Director, Lux Events

"We loved having Zoe hosting our Cyber Security Festival. She ensured the audience were super engaged throughout the day and handled the event with enormous skill, tapping into her own expertise."

Tom Allen, Incisive Media

"Zoe was a consummate professional - our audience is very technical, but her experience in this field shone through, as she was able to explain all the technical language in the questions without batting an eyelid. She had the perfect balance of gravitas and fun, and her live broadcasting credentials meant she was able to cope with the complexities of multiple messages behind the scenes, ensure her own audio lines were correct, and keep the whole segment exactly on time."

Ann Charles, Director, Radio TechCon
