Katie Ledger is a former UK National TV News Presenter with 15 years of broadcast experience working as a journalist for the BBC, ITN, Channel 5 in the UK and TVB in Hong Kong.

Katie now concentrates on her a career as a conference facilitator, communications consultant, author and speaker. She has facilitated hundreds of events and conferences and firmly believes in being the “voice of the audience” on stage, asking the kinds of questions that they would like to ask. She enjoys facilitating open Q&A, also utilising social media including twitter and text feedback and always makes sure the event stays to time.

Her interviews ranged from facilitating a public Q&A with David Cameron just before he became Prime Minister, to Royal Correspondent for Channel 5 News in the wake of Princess Diana’s death, to interviewing international celebrities such as Diana Ross, Jose Carreras, Director Oliver Stone, Virgin’s Richard Branson and Microsoft Boss, Steve Ballmer.

Katie is a passionate advocate of new technology and new ways of working, which spurred her to write “And what do you do? 10 steps to creating a portfolio career” with Dr Barrie Hopson.

“Katie’s coaching and direction enabled SMSP UK to deliver a great event for 1,000 UK Microsoft Partners. She played a pivotal role in structuring the event, including interviewing and coaching internal and external presenters. Katie’s professional stage delivery and her strong partnership with the production team ensured a seamless and valued event demonstrated by attendees’ above average evaluation feedback. It was a pleasure working with Katie and her engagement delivered enhanced results”.
