As a seasoned presenter and reporter, she covers a broad spectrum of the tech landscape, making complex technology news accessible to millions. Her expertise spans from gadgets and games to cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI), and her work is featured across national and international BBC outlets, including Radio 4’s Today programme, BBC World TV, and the UK’s top news shows.
Zoe has had unique experiences such as racing drones in the Nevada desert, experiencing a driverless car, staying overnight in a house full of robots, and climbing Mount Everest in Virtual Reality. In 2023, she led the BBC’s coverage of the UK government’s AI Safety Summit. Among the tech luminaries she has interviewed is Apple CEO Tim Cook. Her investigative reporting includes Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, the volatile world of cryptocurrency, gender bias in Silicon Valley, and the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal. Her exclusive stories on children accidentally spending thousands on in-game purchases sparked political debate and a parliamentary committee hearing on gaming and gambling.
In 2020, Zoe’s journalistic skills were further recognized when she joined the BBC News team as a senior journalist covering the Covid-19 pandemic.

Testimonials
I invited Zoe to introduce a talk from Vint Cerf, one of the founding fathers of the internet.
As he is a high-profile speaker, we required a host with a deep knowledge and experience of the tech sector. Zoe was fantastic throughout. She was well-prepared beforehand, completely professional on-stage and a delight to work with off-stage. I would not hesitate to recommend her to host any live talk or panel discussion. I hope to see her at the Royal Institution again soon.
Zoe moderated a breakfast panel discussion for us focusing on managing cyber security crises, bringing together IT, operational, legal and communications experts. Zoe brought an incredible amount to the conversation, asking insightful poignant questions which allowed the cross-functional experts to share intelligence that resonated with the audience. Her unrivalled finger-on-the-pulse observations on who had got it right, and wrong, and how journalists would respond added credence to the discussion. Following our great experience on this project, we also interviewed Zoe to understand burning technology trends that matter to her audience, to inform a wider thought leadership piece for a board level client. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed working together.
Zoe, thank you SO much for the brilliant job you did chairing Digital Day today. You kept us all on track and your knowledge and expertise was spot on for the Q&A. I realise it was quite full on with little break for you, so thank you for your time, commitment and energy!
Zoe was a consummate professional – our audience is very technical, but her experience in this
field shone through, as she was able to explain all the technical language in the questions without
batting an eyelid. She had the perfect balance of gravitas and fun, and her live broadcasting credentials meant she
was able to cope with the complexities of multiple messages behind the scenes, ensure her own
audio lines were correct, and keep the whole segment exactly on time.
We loved having Zoe hosting our Cyber Security Festival. She ensured the audience were super engaged throughout the day and handled the event with enormous skill, tapping into her own expertise.
Absolutely amazing! Dream MC and a pleasure to work with.
‘Thank you Zoe. We couldn’t have asked for more from a host. Your energy and enthusiasm was perfect and everyone stayed for the duration – a testament to the excellent content you delivered.’
