Speaker Testimonials
What conference organisers, event directors and programme leads say about booking Amna as a keynote speaker or panellist.
“Working with Amna was perfect, she has amazing research and insights from her PHD, which she was able to translate and present to a wide range of audiences in a way that was easy to understand. No jargon, just perfect snippets to take away, which helped set the scene and tee up our internal speakers.”
Joel Bransfield. Big Partnership Commercial Operations Director
“Dr Amna Khan delivered a bespoke, sector specific presentation that managed to be not only thought provoking, and engaging but also in parts challenged the audience with her insight and different ways of looking at the retail sector and the consumer. Amna from the opening relaxed the audience to deliver a presentation which was full of inspiration and deliverables. Amna was so good we have invited her to our next Seminar to talk again, and many people in the room booked her to talk at their conferences after her exceptional performance. I can only recommend this incredibly knowledgeable expert.”
Susannah Schofield OBE – Director General, Direct Selling Association
“I first came across Dr Khan at an agency event at Outernet and knew she needed to be at London Experience Week. Not only was she comfortable fielding questions from an expert crowd, she clearly knew her field. As with any B2B event, our audience is a demanding one who wants more than soundbites. Dr Khan duly gave the hard facts and data to complement the opinion and her keynote session on consumer trust was suitably packed. If you’re looking for the behavioural science brains behind the predictions but delivered in a media-savvy way, Dr Khan should be at your next event.”
Mike Goldsmith – Head of Content, World Experience Organisation
“Amna was open, thoughtful, and incredibly easy to collaborate with throughout the planning process. She took the time to get to know us, was naturally aligned with our brand ethos, and came to the panel genuinely prepared and engaged. What really resonated with our team was the confidence Amna brought to the conversation. She brought real passion to the topic, created authentic energy in the room, and made the conversation feel human rather than scripted. We would love the opportunity to partner with her again.”
Rachelle Sokan – Chief Marketing Officer, SPARK
“My team and I had the pleasure of working with Dr Amna Khan at The Retail Bulletin Ecom North Event, 4th Feb 2026. She delivered the kind of fireside chat that stays with you long after it ends. Her relaxed and confident authority was a masterclass in how to connect with her audience. She read the room, sparked curiosity, and kept every attendee leaning in. She was an absolute asset to our event and I can’t wait to work with her again. Our delegates loved her! What she doesn’t know about retail consumer behaviour probably isn’t worth knowing.”
Karen Howard – Managing Director, The Retail Bulletin
“Amna is a force of nature. Not just an expert in the field of consumer behaviour and an insightful commentator and explainer of trends – she is also an inspiring and compelling speaker, able to relate to diverse audiences. She is a natural and gifted teacher, and brings knowledge, optimism, wit and empathy to every conversation, making her a delight to work with.”
Hillary Berg – M&C Saatchi Group
“Dr Amna Khan is incredibly knowledgeable and up to date about her subject, as well as being an enthusiastic and motivational contributor to a panel discussion. I have heard Amna speak live and on TV many times, so was thrilled to have her join us at Brabners for our thought leadership campaign about ESG in the retail sector. She is a delight to work with and an inspiration!”

I highly recommend her for her leadership, communication skills, and integrity.”

Amna is a pleasure to work with, and an inspiring role model for our students.”
Shauna Burns – Careers Manager
“In 2022 I launched a brand new Sales Academy at Sharp UK, with one of the key drivers being the diversification of our UK Sales Team. Amna agreed to run a session with the team, and it was every bit as inspirational as I’d hoped it would be. I cannot recommend Amna highly enough, as somebody who can motivate and inspire any team.”
Nick Rose – Sales Director, Sharp UK
Host & Moderator Testimonials
What event directors and content producers say about Amna’s work chairing conferences, moderating panels and hosting live events.
“Amna was a fantastic contributor to Creator Economy Live Manchester during Manchester Tech Week. She brought real depth of knowledge on consumer behaviour, and it showed in everything she did across the day. She moderated one of our panels with real skill — asking the right questions at the right moments, drawing the best out of each panellist, and adding her own informed perspective. She also led an interactive roundtable on evolving consumer trust, which generated some really engaged discussions. Beyond the content itself, Amna was exactly the kind of contributor you want on your programme: communicative, responsive, and proactive in the lead-up. I’d jump at the chance to work with her again.”
