About Maddy Savage

Maddy Savage is a Stockholm-based moderator and freelance BBC broadcaster with over 10 years of experience leading high-level international events. Her career began in London and Brussels, where she spent a decade working as a presenter and reporter for the BBC, covering live news and world affairs for global audiences. In 2014, she relocated to Sweden, continuing her broadcasting work while expanding her role as a sought-after international moderator.

Her early experience in youth and children’s television and radio adds a distinct dimension to her professional style. It has shaped a stage presence that is warm, energetic, and highly adaptable—qualities that make her equally effective in front of large audiences and in more intimate executive settings.

Whether navigating complex panel discussions or adapting to last-minute changes, she maintains a composed and professional presence that reassures both organisers and speakers.

These experiences have strengthened her ability to create meaningful dialogue on stage. She knows how to draw out authentic insights, challenge perspectives in a constructive way, and ensure that conversations feel both insightful and human.

Engaging audiences of every size

Maddy is equally at ease hosting large-scale summits with thousands of delegates and facilitating smaller, high-level executive roundtables. Regardless of format, her goal remains the same: to create an environment where speakers feel supported and audiences stay curious and engaged.

Her tone is authoritative yet approachable, striking a balance that encourages openness while maintaining professional direction. This makes her particularly effective in settings where complex ideas, diverse perspectives, and high expectations come together.
