With nearly two decades of experience across global newsrooms and corporate media, Mariam is a highly respected journalist, presenter, and media strategist. A trusted global storyteller and an expert in EU affairs, she is known for her steady, authoritative presence at the heart of the world’s most critical stories.

Her career has included anchoring live coverage of the world’s biggest events — from the seismic shifts of the Trump presidency to leading hours of breaking news on the ongoing war in Gaza and broader Middle East dynamics. She has worked at major international news networks including TRT World, CNBC, and Euronews, where she notably broke the news of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Currently a news anchor at TRT World, she presents flagship bulletins on the most urgent international developments in news and business. Known for her sharp editorial instinct, commanding on-air presence and incisive interviews with world leaders and key influencers, she brings credibility and insight to every broadcast. Her work is driven by a single mission: to breakdown the biggest stories with truth, impact, and humanity.

Before this, as EU Correspondent and Bureau Chief at CGTN, she played a pivotal role covering major geopolitical events — from Brexit and NATO summits to global terror attacks — reporting from the heart of EU, UN, and G7 summits. She developed a strong network across European institutions and industries, building trusted relationships that continue to inform and enhance her work today.

Her journalism career began at the BBC on the day of the 7/7 London bombings, setting the tone for a career defined by breaking news and incisive storytelling. She later gained valuable experience at ITV and the Associated Press, sharpening her skills across fast-paced newsrooms and foreign bureaux.

Today, she leverages this extensive newsroom expertise through her own media venture, offering strategic content creation, high-level media consulting, and tailored communication solutions for international clients.

A trusted voice within Brussels’ policy circles with specialisms including health and tech, she also moderates at the biggest international conferences including the World Economic Forum in Davos, United Nations Climate Change Conference and VivaTech in Paris.

Based in the UK capital, she also curates and hosts her own events in London, convening influential voices from politics, media, and sport to foster meaningful dialogue on the world’s most urgent issues.
