One of Africa’s most experienced, respected and well-known broadcasters, Bronwyn Nielsen will host the third IoT Forum Africa, set to take place at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa on 26 – 27 March.
Nielsen has 25 years of experience in African broadcasting and is the CEO and founder of Nielsen Associates. She served as Editor-in-Chief at CNBC Africa for four years between 2013 – 2017, with the responsibility of setting the content agenda for all companies with the ABN Group and driving the group’s strategic growth opportunities across the African continent.
During 2017 and 2018, she chaired debates and panel discussions at numerous World Economic Forum events including Switzerland (Davos), South Africa (Cape Town and Durban), UAE (Dubai) and China (Dalian).
She is also called upon by leading business organisations and institutes, such as Milken Institute, African Development Bank and ABN Group (which includes CNBC Africa and Forbes Africa) to moderate key sessions at their global events, which are often broadcast live.
Nielsen’s media expertise and in-depth understanding of business and finance, combined with her ability to get the best out of industry and government leaders in the panel discussions, debates and the one-on-one interviews she conducts, has resulted in CEOs, Chairmen, Presidents, Prime Ministers and Ministers from across Africa asking her to advise on media strategy.
She is a successful communications strategist and trainer, bringing to the table not just her broadcast experience but also an understanding of the inner-workings of the corporate world, having held senior positions with listed companies.
Promising to be bigger and better, this year’s IoT Forum Africa will assemble the finest selection of over 400 leading IoT experts, business leaders and solution providers for two days of insightful presentations, interactive panel discussions, industry-focused break-away sessions, and plenty of networking.
