Journalist

Natasha is a journalist, business strategist and speaker committed to sharing the Asia success story with the world. Her passion for storytelling is driven by a desire to reveal powerful shifts in technology, culture and human advancement - particularly in fast-moving Asian markets - and how they create opportunities to reimagine and reshape the way we live, work and create.

Based in Dubai, she reports for global business media including Forbes and The Karma Network and has interviewed some of the foremost business and creative minds of our time: from former CEO of Pepsi and Apple - John Sculley- to international best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell to one of the most powerful women in Indian business - Vani Kola; along with several government leaders, industry titans and visionary entrepreneurs worldwide.

Natasha advises forward-thinking institutions and brands on reputation building and growth strategy, drawing on her versatile corporate career working at leading institutions - including The Corporate Executive Board, the Harvard Medical School Dubai Center and Dubai Holding - in roles spanning business intelligence to strategy to investor relations.

She frequently delivers talks that both illuminate the future of work, technology and leadership and how institutions and individuals can authentically stand out and succeed in this future. Through her compelling stories, both on and off-stage, Natasha is committed to combating stereotypes, breaking down barriers and cultivating more powerful and provocative female and minority voices in the mainstream global narrative on business and technology.
