Public speaking

Looking for a speaker who brings real-world experience and fresh perspective to the stage?

With 17+ years in the marketing world, both in-house and as an independent consultant, I bring practical insights and engaging content to every keynote, workshop and panel discussion.

I work with brands, universities, creative communities and entrepreneur programmes to create tailored sessions for conferences, internal events and education-led initiatives. I also mentor founders and creatives and run marketing clinics at industry events, offering hands-on guidance alongside stage content.

I speak in English and French and I’m available for events across the UK, US and Europe.

    “Kim brings brilliant energy to all that she does and was a delight to work with – flexible, creative and open to feedback. She supported the very first cohort of the Entrepreneurs Hub, the Design Museum's dedicated business accelerator for design-led entrepreneurs, as a mentor, coach and workshop facilitator. Her advice was accessible, actionable and individualised to the cohort and she was a brilliant cheerleader for the entrepreneurs and the programme overall.”
