Moderator – Host – Speaker – Interviewer – Facilitator

ABOUT

An idea. An epiphany. A phrase that sticks.

A conversation to carry with you. These are what I strive to give audiences.  

My name is Aliena Haig [ahh-lee-yay-naa heyg] and I like to learn. And I like to help others learn. I do so by listening, very closely, and asking lots of questions.

My career began as an Interview Producer at Al Jazeera English, working on both the news cycle and the flagship current affairs show, Inside Story. From there, the questions never stopped and I have since built up multi-sector expertise, in-depth communications experience and an international portfolio of public speaking, hosting and moderating engagements. 

Growing up across Europe, North America and Southeast Asia, I combine learning lessons and cultural sensitivities from the 11 countries in which I have resided. Articulate and able to deliver in three languages (EN | DE | FR), I focus on providing engaging, informative and inquisitive experiences and inspiration in:

  • panel moderation & guest booking

  • event hosting & MCing

  • session facilitating

  • interviewing 

  • media training

  • speechwriting

  • event media production

I work across the arts, culture and music, sports, technology, environmental concerns, policies and politics and socioeconomic issues. 

 

The way we speak about the world in which we live contributes to how it is ultimately shaped. Understanding the context, tracing the shifting landscapes, questioning the status quo and forging paths for the future are important exercises in creating our current realities. I am privileged to offer audiences the opportunities to learn from great minds, to guide eye-opening conversations, grow imaginations, spark ideas and discover groundbreaking insights, simply by asking just the right questions.
