Shivvy exhibits a remarkable capacity to make complex technological concepts easy to understand; to analyze the social and economic impacts of new technologies and to uncouple the relevant from the mere buzz. It doesn’t hurt that she’s also a connector, bringing together people, companies and ideas across the broader field of digital technology.

Bruno Giussani, Global Curator, TED

Shivvy is a true expert with great charisma. She is an extraordinary and rare combination of an intelligent writer and vivacious presenter. She interviewed me for her video series and led me effortlessly through clever questions such that it felt like a natural dialogue vs staid interview.

Shivvy is an outstanding presenter, full of verve and insight, with the killer combo ability of being able both to get the subject to relax and to probe for the evasion or unexpressed truth.

Digital Futures had the pace of a snappy news report and enough insight to keep one riveted. It had an excellent presenter in Shivvy, who also conceptualised the video series.
