Moderating
I am a passionate advocate of human rights and equality and regularly moderate panels for organizations such as the Copenhagen Democracy Summit, Reuters NEXT, Oslo Freedom Forum, United Nations, Fordham Business School and National Association of Black Journalists among others.
The Copenhagen Democracy Summit
In May, I moderated various panels at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit around Artificial Intelligence, including:
Oslo Freedom Forum
I have moderated various conversations at the Oslo Freedom Forum over the years. Most recently I led a conversation about the future of democratic governance in the Middle East with panelists from Iran, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq. The Middle East and North Africa region has long been shaped by geopolitical rivalries, proxy wars, and sudden political upheavals. We discussed how moments of upheaval often give way not to democracy, but to new forms of authoritarian rule, fragile states, or prolonged instability, and what needs to practically happen to break this cycle for true democractic change to emerge.
Carnegie Ethics Council
For the keynote event of Global Ethics Day 2025, I moderated a panel with a group of experts exploring vital questions around power, accountability, and the need for greater inclusivity in the design, funding, and delivery of humanitarian aid.
Peace Circle at UNGA 80
During the United Nations General Assembly, I hosted an inaugural peace circle as part of the Act Now for Peace Campaign. The initiative brings together youth advocates and elders to spark intergenerational dialogue around solutions for peace. The conversation is based on the collaborative design method, led by six prompts around six key themes, starting with “How might we imagine...” You can watch the full event on UNTV.
The 2022 International Women’s Rights Award
In 2022, I interviewed Zarifa Ghafari in front of a live audience in Geneva. Afghanistan's youngest elected mayor and survivor of numerous assassination attempts told me the Taliban can't erase women and that it's time for the rest of the world to build bridges with the people of Afghanistan.
Reuters NEXT
I moderated various conversations at the Reuters NEXT summit in New York in December 2025, interviewing leaders about what the future holds. From a fireside chat with LSEG head of analytics & AI on how trusted financial data can empower AI in financial markets, to crypto with iTrust Capital CEO, the future of finance with Blackstone and Stellar, to Cisco's SVP on the reality of closing the gap on AI infrastructure and ambition.
