Sasha Qadri's 2025 biography

About Sasha Qadri

With a background in television news, having anchored for Sky and produced / reported for other global networks including CNN, Bloomberg and CNBC, Sasha is renowned as being a seasoned presenter and interviewer. Having handled live breaking news means that it’s hard for her to be fazed when things don’t go according to plan on stage.

Sasha has earned a reputation as a skilled presenter and chair who is just as at home at large-scale global conferences as in live studio broadcasts. She is a frequent moderator of panel and roundtable discussions, emcees international events and is well versed in the skill of studio work, as well as virtual events. A seasoned public speaker, Sasha is regularly called upon to deliver keynotes or to appear as part of a wider discussion as a panel guest.

Sasha works across an impressive selection of industries at the intersection of business, finance and technology. This had led to her being hired to oversee many kinds of events within those worlds, including cybersecurity, sustainability and fintech. Sasha has facilitated many conversations on adopting and leveraging AI and tech transformation more broadly, frequently interviewing senior leaders from HPE to IBM and Microsoft amongst others. She has found herself increasingly immersed in AI, from conducting interviews on generative AI to agentic AI.

The breadth of topics that Sasha can engage in is perhaps best represented by the range of interviewees she’s spoken to on stage. She has long been able to rely on many years of experience interviewing senior leadership and government officials, policy makers, innovators, CEOs, celebrities, royalty and more. Recent interviews include:

AI expert – Mo Gawdat
Sustainable concrete entrepreneur – Rick Fox
Leading business figure – Martha Lane Fox
Author and guru – Deepak Chopra
EE CEO – Marc Allera
VM02 CEO – Lutz Schuler
Revolut UK CEO – Francesca Carlesi
Zilch CEO – Philip Belamant
Former Chancellor – Rt. Hon Philip Hammond
Head of GCHQ – Anne Keast-Butler
Strava CEO – Mike Martin

That’s a broad spectrum of subjects to discuss, but with Sasha at the helm, there’s one aspect in particular that she brings to the table which ties the disparate nature of her work together: The most frequent feedback received from collaborators is that Sasha brings out the best in people by making them feel relaxed. And a lot of the great feedback received can be rooted back to perhaps the most important element in what makes a skilled host… Put simply, Sasha enjoys few things more than sitting down for one-on-one interviews where she can dig deeper into what makes people tick.

Events throughout 2024 included co-hosting at London Tech Week and chairing their Global Leaders Summit, emceeing at Money 20/20 in Europe, chairing the Innovate Finance Global Summit, and also consumer technology event Leap, where she was one of the main stage moderators. Other events include Connected Britain, Retail Week Live, World Travel Market, The Next Web, The Financial Times Global Insurance Summit, Innovate Finance Global and The London Gatwick Economic Summit

Sasha started her career in investment banking, and frequently works with financial institutions, including Lloyds Bank and the Treasury. Invaluable experience in the retail and travel sectors was gained when she worked for lastminute.com at the start of the dotcom boom. She also spent several years as a Senior Programming Director at Bloomberg Live, where she curated and moderated flagship business and technology events. Sasha studied Social and Political Sciences at Cambridge University and spent her gap year studying at The Sorbonne.
