Testimonials
As part of launching Oracle’s 37th Datacentre (and its 1st in Africa) we had the honour of working with Nazareen in her capacity as MC and Event host for the virtual & in-person events in JHB and Cape Town. Her impeccable preparation, quiet composure, attention to detail, powerful wordsmith-ship and ability to think on her feet brought a much-needed external perspective and flavour to our events.
As an experienced moderator and MC/Host she was able to engage attendees and bring out most importantly, the consistency of the key messages that Oracle had briefed her on. She set/enhanced the tone and pace of the events and was the golden thread that moved events from good to great! Her joyful persona, coupled with her positive outlook on life and can-do attitude are infectious and commendable. She is a great orator who engages with her audience authentically, hence I would definitely recommend her for any event.

Naz has collaborated with us at AI Media multiple times hosting and moderating sessions relating to AI and smart technologies with energy, insight and always prepares well. Naz has the ability to inject energy and excitement into moderating and makes it look easy – her preparation and support has been greatly appreciated every time.
– Dr Nick Bradshaw, Founder | AI Expo Africa
Naz is an exemplary communicator and moderator. She demonstrates poise, makes the people around her feel comfortable and is in control of the subject matter allowing her to elevate the conversation and debate. I had the pleasure of meeting her at the Global AI Summit in Riyadh in 2022 and the sessions she Chaired were the best of the conference. I was a member of a panel which she Chaired, and I found that she had an excellent grasp of the subject matter, the skills that I brought to the conversation and helped me to put my message across effectively during the session.
Before the session she spent a significant amount of time both in person and online coordinating the panellists, the messages and finding effective threads that joined up our messaging, helping to bring a dynamic and engaging session to the audience of this conference. She allowed the panellists to build a chemistry which was second to none. I would thoroughly recommend her services for any convening, coordinating, and chairing of thought leadership related content and would love to myself work with her again in the future.
