“Elaine is one of Ireland’s most knowledgeable commentators on science and technology. She has an amazing ability to convert complex themes into relevant, tangible and meaningful messages for audiences. Her innate curiosity and obvious passion makes for engaging conversations.” – Áine Kerr, broadcaster and entrepreneur

“Elaine was an excellent moderator for our panel discussion on ‘Entrepreneurship for Women in Technology’ at The Digital Hub. As an experienced journalist covering science and technology news for many years she was perfectly placed to guide our panel of speakers through a really thought-provoking discussion for our audience. She had all the latest facts and figures to hand and asked exactly the right questions of our panellists. Afterwards it was great to feel the energy and buzz in the room with people continuing to chat about the many talking points. Elaine is clearly so passionate about ‘all things tech’ from new technologies, online safety and public policy to gadgets and tech billionaires! She can connect all the dots and really engage an audience. Whether as an MC, panel moderator or keynote speaker we look forward to working with Elaine again in the future.” – Melissa Meehan, Marketing & Communications Manager, The Digital Hub
