Sophy RidgeLead Political Presenter for Sky News and Acclaimed Author

Sophy Ridge is a prominent broadcaster and journalist who serves as a leading face of Sky News. Currently anchoring the weekday programme The Politics Hub, she previously spent six years at the helm of her flagship Sunday morning show, Sophy Ridge on Sunday. Her career at Sky began after notable tenures at the News of the World, where she focused on consumer affairs and political reporting, eventually becoming a familiar presence across Westminster and Whitehall. Throughout her career, she has tracked pivotal democratic moments, including UK and US elections and high-profile Prime Ministerial visits across the globe. Her journalistic contributions have been recognised with several awards, particularly for her party conference coverage and her innovative use of social media. Beyond the screen, she launched the Waste Watch blog to monitor government expenditure and authored The Women Who Shaped Politics, which examines the history and challenges of female figures in British public life. Sophy is an exceptional choice for organisations seeking a speaker with an unmatched grasp of the British political landscape. Her ability to break down complex parliamentary developments and her experience interviewing the most powerful figures in the country make her a compelling presence for any audience. On stage, Sophy Ridge is best known for talks on Politics & Geopolitics. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room. Their work resonates with leaders across Media & Broadcasting, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy. Sophy Ridge is regularly booked for Presenter & Awards Host, adapting tone, length and format to suit the event — from a 20-minute opener to a full conference keynote with Q&A. Based in UK, Sophy Ridge travels internationally for engagements.
