Amy Guttman

Thanks for the really important and well done Cuba economy story and for the quick turnaround. All the bases were covered and the characters were just right. It was a critical part of our Cuba coverage. Looking forward to your next story.

Scott Davis, Executive Producer, PBS Newshour Weekend

We were DELIGHTED with your piece about swimming in Iran. It was lovely to hear something of the country told, most originally, from a swimming pool. And told in great style too. We thought you did a terrific script, it was fascinating to hear how the shop assistant must operate there; it was a great story. We are very grateful indeed. I hope you’ll have another one for us before long.

Tony Grant, Executive Producer, BBC, From Our Own Correspondent

We asked Amy to screen her PBS Newshour documentary and talk about her experience reporting on Syrian refugee entrepreneurs in Jordan to launch our summit for inclusive finance investors. Amy supported her broadcast piece with insights about commercial opportunities, many of which could only be learned about through reporting in the field. We were delighted with her talk. Our audience of international investors found it memorable and impactful, inspiring many to take action.

Josien Sluijs, Director, Inclusive Finance Platform, NL

I'm so impressed, Amy! You were incredible - insightful - and energetic. This will make a lovely story. Thank you for being patient and collaborative with me!

Amy Pedulla, Podcast Producer, Milk Street Kitchen

Amy was brilliant to work with, it was clear she had a wealth of experience and that we were in safe hands. We had a very short time frame and she gave us beautifully written, interesting articles, that hit the brief entirely. We look forward to working with her again soon

Carrie Bayley, Senior Account Manager, Stepladder (Branding Agency)

Your talk is very inspirational... I never thought about how to tell a good story and the impact it can have! It was a great pleasure and very valuable.

It’s not often that you come across a combination of a talented journalist and a speaker like Amy. I sincerely recommend Amy as a speaker to every conference program director!

Vladimir Vulic, Co-founder of Digitalizuj.Me and Spark.me Program Director

Amy adopted a strong, pro-active approach as a moderator for two of our signature panels at the prestigious Asian Leadership Conference x Hello Tomorrow Korea. Our workload was considerably lightened by her hands-on approach, an absolute boon for us during an exceptionally stressful time. Amy’s sessions ran very smoothly, and she was not only able to clearly direct her speakers, but also managed to engage the audience in doing so. She exerted a knowledge of the topics that was second to none and drew an audience into the room to over-capacity. Working with her was an immense pleasure, and we will unreservedly employ her skills as a moderator for all our major conferences in the future.

Carlo Jacobs, Managing Partner, Accelerate Korea

The workshop was really helpful in showing us we can build a strategy to create good stories around us. It motivated us to be more pro-active in demonstrating what we care about and how useful our product is. It was really useful to study other cases and understand the way you come up with stories and strategies. I would definitely recommend the workshop to colleagues! Tell me when you do another workshop, we'll tell our friends from the French Tech ecosystem!

Marc-Antoine Durand, COO, Yubo

Amy’s insights on how to address media were extremely useful for the 1000 startups attending the Hello Tomorrow Global Summit. We see so many incredible entrepreneurs but many of them have trouble effectively communicating about their projects. Amy’s workshop is a vital part of an entrepreneurs' tool kit and the perfect balance between practical and inspirational.

Sarah Pedroza, Co-Managing Director, Hello Tomorrow

Working with Amy was truly beneficial and propelled our media strategy. Her strong journalistic expertise helped us to identify and shape stories to pitch to the press. Furthermore, she has helped us find the company’s message, promote it and position it in a very compelling way. She is fast, smart and very easy to work with.

Melanie Rozencwajg, Co-Founder and CEO, Archive Valley

I discovered Amy at a tech conference and immediately knew that I wanted her to share her insights with our start-ups and innovators at the European Innovators Summit 2018 in Berlin. She has a compelling way of breaking down what it takes to trigger a good story, which everyone can easily apply. Her exercise-driven and interactive approach made the workshop a great success. Participants felt the session provided great value and a starting point for defining and developing their media strategies. We would work with Amy any time again and I can definitely recommend her for other events aimed at delivering value to portfolio companies.

Liesa Siedentopp, Business Developer, Executive Agency for Small and Medium-Sized Companies (European Commission)

Amy is an engaging and energetic speaker. We had the opportunity to hear her talk about "Secrets for a Successful Story" on our main stage, with 800 people in attendance at our conference for people aged 18-35, from 40+ countries. They are a very demanding audience, and we have received only positive feedback about Amy's talk. Amy delivers value through her journalism background and by breaking down real-life case studies to illustrate the secrets of impactful stories. Her enthusiasm for connecting with the audience makes Amy stand out as a memorable speaker.
