With more than 25 years of experience across journalism, editing, and corporate communications, I’ve had the privilege of working throughout the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia — collaborating with global brands, destinations, and thought leaders shaping the future of travel and tourism.At this year’s International Cruise Summit (ICS), I’m delighted to be moderating the session “Cruise Destinations – The Real Economic Impact – Blue Economy” (Wednesday, November 19th, 10:15am). Together with a distinguished panel of experts from Tourism Economics, Corsica Ports, Jobs on a Ship, Qatar Tourism, Cruise Europe, and Global Ports Holding, we’ll unpack the trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping the blue economy and its real impact on destinations worldwide.
Beyond my work as a moderator, I’m the Director of Content Inc., a strategic communications agency partnering with major hotel, tourism, hospitality, and real estate organisations to deliver corporate communications, editorial strategy, media training, podcast services, and content creation. Our work helps clients tell their stories with clarity and authenticity, from thought-leadership campaigns and brand storytelling to executive coaching and event communications.
Over the years, I’ve had the honour of moderating and emceeing some of the industry’s most influential events, including Arabian Travel Market (ATM), World Travel Market London, Future Hospitality Summits in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, Seatrade Europe 2025, and the Longevity & Hospitality Summit at FIBO in Cologne. I also work closely with hotel groups such as Wyndham and IHG, supporting their leadership teams with event moderation, media skills development, and communication strategy.
As an editor and journalist, I’ve launched and led flagship business travel and hospitality publications across EMEA — including Business Traveller Middle East, the official ATM Yearbook (now in its 14th year), and the upcoming ITB Global Travel Collection celebrating ITB Berlin’s 60th anniversary. This editorial background shapes my approach to moderating, combining journalistic curiosity with an ability to guide high-impact, insight-driven dialogue that resonates with audiences.
Whether chairing a panel, training senior executives for media interviews, or developing brand communication strategies, my goal remains the same: to help individuals and organisations communicate with confidence, authenticity, and influence.
If you’re attending ICS and would like to connect — to discuss collaboration, content strategy, or storytelling for your brand — I’d love to meet you. You can learn more about my work and services at
