About
The energy of a Friday night launch. The composure of a live boardroom stream.
Charlie Skinner is a corporate emcee and host based in Dubai, originally from London, fifteen years into a career built across media and live events. The core skill is reading a room and giving it what it needs, whether that's a tight run-of-show or a completely unscripted save.
That range shows up in the work: awards nights and galas, conference and summit moderation, brand and product launches, podcast and video hosting, voiceover and autocue, and the live ad-lib that keeps an audience with you when the schedule doesn't go to plan.
Available across the UAE, the wider region and internationally.
