Kait Borsay
A senior conference stage rises or falls on the person holding it together. Panels drift, energy dips, and audience attention fragments the moment a host loses control of the room. Organisations running flagship events need a presenter who can move between hard news, commercial themes and human stories without dropping the line.
Kait Borsay is a Times Radio presenter and broadcast journalist who hosts and moderates flagship corporate events, panels and live broadcasts for organisations including PWC, Cisco and BNY Mellon.
Full Profile
Why organisations work with Kait Borsay
- A working broadcast journalist on national radio, not a former presenter. Her interview craft is rehearsed live four nights a week on Times Radio, in front of a politically literate audience.
- Built and sold a media property. She co-founded The Offside Rule, took it to acquisition by The New York Times in 2022, and understands the commercial side of content from the inside.
- Comfortable across registers, from Invictus Games and the Boat Race to corporate town halls for PWC, Cisco, Capital One and BNY Mellon. She does not have a single mode.
- Recognised credibility with senior commercial brands as a podcast host, including P&G and EY, where the brief is sustained editorial conversation rather than one-off stage presence.
- A reporter’s instinct for the awkward question. Her Times Radio editorial agenda covers Long Covid, care home residents’ rights, children’s mental health and neurodiversity in women, themes that demand a host who can hold difficult material without flinching.

Biography
The Evening Edition on Times Radio runs four nights a week, covering politics, health, education and social affairs. Kait Borsay presents it. The discipline of live national radio, where every interview is unscripted and audience tolerance for filler is zero, shapes how she works on every other stage she steps onto.
Her broadcast career started in sport at Sky Sports, and ran through Sky News, Reuters and ITN before her move into long-form audio. In 2012, she co-founded The Offside Rule, a female-fronted football podcast that took ten years to build and was part-acquired by The New York Times in 2022. It featured in the Guardian’s top five sport podcasts and Vogue’s best football podcast list.
The corporate work sits alongside the journalism. She hosts and moderates for PWC, Capital One, Cisco and BNY Mellon, and has run brand podcasts for P&G and EY. Live event credits include the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race and the Invictus Games, formats where the host has to carry hours of unscripted broadcast in front of a live audience.
What she brings to a corporate stage is the same discipline she applies to Times Radio. A reporter’s prep, a willingness to push past the corporate answer, and a calm register that holds a room when the agenda slips, when a speaker overruns, or when a sensitive subject lands in the middle of the programme.
