With a 20 year presenting career that began in live TV, Nikki spent two years as the anchor of The Guardian Media Group’s flagship daily breakfast show before stepping onto national and global stages.

She became a familiar face as BBC2’s Something for the Weekend gadget expert and the Digital Presenter on Strictly Come Dancing for 6 series, where her friendly, fun & energetic style kept audiences engaged behind the scenes and online.

Since then, Nikki has hosted high-impact events across sectors from tech and business to sport and entertainment for major names including The Financial Times, Mobile World Congress, London Tech Week, Rokit, Porsche, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, Hub Berlin, and the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce to name just a few.

Through her Bloody Brilliant Speaker® coaching, programmes and keynote, she’s helped hundreds of founders, leaders and creatives ditch the dread and own the spotlight with confidence.

A natural communicator and people person, Nikki brings clarity, connection and a little bit of magic to every stage she steps on, whether it’s live, virtual or somewhere in between.
