In my role I amplify the BCS agenda externally - to showcase thought leadership, compelling storytelling and influence at all levels.

The focus is on the younger generations, the women, those from underrepresented & underprivileged backgrounds as we empower them to see the beauty of Data & Technology, believe in themselves, be seen & heard, and help fulfil their true career potential - consequently maximizing their contributions to the economy, society, and communities.

I elevate the external image and influence of the companies I work for through public speaking, broadcast appearances and thought leadership.

This creates new relationships, new revenue streams and a much more inclusive positioning in the market. It increases the company’s reputation; is inclusive; and allows the companies to foster an authentic connection with a diverse audience who are watching.

I elevate the external image and influence of the companies I work for through public speaking, broadcast appearances and thought leadership.

This creates new relationships, new revenue streams and a much more inclusive positioning in the market. It increases the company’s reputation; is inclusive; and allows the companies to foster an authentic connection with a diverse audience who are watching.

I use storytelling to make technology relatable and build trust through vulnerability - to drive industry impact & business success. By combining innovation with authenticity, I inspired millions globally to see failure as an opportunity to grow.

As a LinkedIn Top Voice & TEDx speaker, I speak on the topics of Data and Technology on national TV, radio; high-profile industry events (incl. World Economic Forum, London Tech Week, Money 20/20). In addition, the audience is drawn to my unique story of tenacity as I share my personal journey from humble beginnings to advising the C-suite in the male dominated industry.

I am featured on the BBC, BBC Radio 5, BBC Radio 4, Bloomberg, in Financial Times, Telegraph, The Banker by FT. My first talk was a TED talk - it got over 510,000 views, was translated into 23 languages & became the top 10 World's Most Watched TEDx talks that month.

Recently I moderated the roundtable with H.E.s and ministers in Davos; I interviewed the Minister of Digital Transformation in Macedonia; I moderated panels that the US's famous Ray Dalio spoke at, and the former British prime minister David Cameron, at Abu Dhabi Finance Week; and interviewed Lord Holmes about AI.

Recognised as Most Inspirational Person of the Year; on Influencer Board of British Computer Society; Influencer for Cornell University in AI space.

I am looking to inspire 50 million people globally to see failure as an opportunity to grow through delivering vulnerable, relatable, and empowering content. Show less
