About Emmelie Zipson
Emmelie Zipson is a charming and colorful presence who knows how to set the right tone as a moderator, host and interviewer. With years of experience and broad knowledge across multiple subjects, including sustainability, innovation, education, and various corporate cultures, she ensures that your conference or event stands out.
With more than 75 online and hybrid events, alongside countless live events, you won’t have to worry about the program’s flow. Whether the event is large or small, it makes no difference. Her strength lies in her ability to make people feel at ease on stage and reveal the individuals behind their roles. She is highly versatile and uses her expertise, combined with humor and lightness, without sacrificing content or direction. This ensures that every event becomes an unforgettable experience. On her YouTube channel, she shares videos with tips about the craft from her own expertise.
In her career over the past ten years, Emmelie has worked with a wide range of organizations and sectors, from sustainable companies like Van Oord, the CO2 Performance Ladder, ELHO, and Ministries of Economic Affairs and Climate, as well as Infrastructure and Water Management. Non-profit organizations such as UNHCR and the Refugee Talent Hub are also increasingly turning to her. These organizations seek more creativity in their programs to help people get out of their heads and gain a helicopter view.
With her English father and Dutch mother, she was raised bilingual, allowing her to present fluently in both English and Dutch. Due to her creative background in TV/theater and years of experience in creating, producing, and performing her own projects, she also utilizes storytelling, spoken word, and singing when desired, and knows how to hold attention and create positive energy during an event.
Last year, she was part of an international tour and moderated a “roadshow” on sustainability for Euro Pool System (EPS)* as a discussion leader. In addition, she offers training in better presenting and pitching and is currently developing a theater lecture on COURAGE.
*Euro Pool System (EPS) is a leading logistics service provider in the European food supply chain, specializing in reusable packaging.
