Moderator

master

ceremonies
I am available for work as a moderator of debates, round tables, seminars and conferences, both big and small. I can also be a Master of Ceremonies for any kind of event.
Making use of my journalistic and presenting skills, I bring a professional, friendly and dynamic approach to the role. My moderating can be virtual, as a proficient user of online technology, or in-person.
On a regular basis I moderate virtual round tables - in both English and French - with top global business leaders in countries such as France, the US, Canada, Australia and Singapore. Recent examples of moderating at in-person events include an EU conference on Marine Spatial Planning in Britanny; an EU debate in Brussels on Atopic Dermatitis; and a European business convention in Barcelona.
Other high-profile events I have moderated include a debate on Brexit at the World Travel Market expo in London; the release of a major report for the EU Fundamental Rights Agency in The Hague; and a USA election night debate in French and English, organised by the American Consulate in Lyon.
I am available for events in France, in both English and French, and elsewhere in Europe. But I can also travel further afield, to moderate events around the globe.
I enjoy the challenge of keeping an audience attentive and getting the most out of invited speakers and guests.
My skills are honed to make sure there is serious analysis and insights, keeping discussions relevant and focused, but also to add some light relief and humour when needed.
A trained and confident public speaker, I have also moderated discussions at numerous media awareness seminars in schools and universities and I have held workshops with inmates in French prisons.
Check out the following video of me presenting and moderating at the World Travel Market in London. I make an introduction at 3'00" into the video and the main part of the debate begins at 15'55".
I would be happy to discuss any project you might be planning, whether it's an event organised by a company, institution, state agency, association, NGO or charity.
I can come up with a detailed estimate based on your specific needs, with different fees for different kinds of events.
I like to be fully involved in the planning of the conferences or debates, carrying out research in close coordination with the organisers and making contact with participants in advance to prepare questions and topics.
