About Nikki

Nikki Dean is an award-winning live presenter, event host, and communications coach with more than two decades of experience connecting with audiences both on screen and on stage.

Nikki first made her mark in live television, spending two years as co-anchor of a daily breakfast TV show in her home city of |Manchester, where every topic was on the agenda - from breaking news and entertainment to lifestyle, sport, current affairs, and human-interest stories.

It was here that she truly cut her teeth as a live broadcaster, developing the quick thinking, adaptability, and audience connection that have become her trademark.

A trained broadcast journalist, Nikki's move into the freelance world quickly led to one of the most sought-after presenter roles in entertainment: six years as the online presenter for the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing. Bringing viewers exclusive backstage access, cast interviews, and all the behind-the-scenes gossip, she became a familiar face to millions of fans.

During this time, she was also one of the resident Gadget Girls on BBC Two's Something for the Weekend, combining her passion for technology with her natural presenting style.

Today, Nikki is as comfortable moderating global thought-leadership discussions as she is hosting live broadcasts and high-profile corporate events. Her work spans entertainment, technology, sport, business, and innovation, with clients and appearances including:

Financial Times Future of the Car Summit,

FT Future of AI,

Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League,

Stockholm Chamber of Commerce annual address

SAP Connect: Las Vegas

HUB:Berlin Tech conference

Rokit Racing League F4,

London Tech Week's Main Stage,

international press conferences for ABB Robotics,

and exclusive VIP events such as An Evening with Gary Neville for Allianz.

Known for her warmth, energy, and ability to make even the most complex topics accessible, Nikki has become a trusted presenter for brands, organisations, and audiences around the world.
