About
Vishala Sri-Pathma is a BBC News anchor specialising in economics, finance and technology. Before journalism, she was a derivatives analyst at JP Morgan — giving her a rare combination of broadcast skill and genuine financial expertise.
She has chaired and moderated conferences across fintech, AI and financial services, working with senior industry leaders, policymakers and innovators. Her background means she can challenge, probe and synthesise in real time — not just facilitate.
What I do
One-to-one interviews with senior executives, founders and policymakers. Drawing on broadcast interview technique to go beyond the rehearsed answer.
Multi-speaker panel facilitation with structured Q&A. Managing time, drawing out insight and keeping the audience engaged throughout.
Chairing an entire conference track or stage across a full day or multiple days. Full ownership of the audience experience from open to close.
