Up Close was a flagship interview programme on eNCA that brought audiences face-to-face with some of the world's most influential leaders, innovators, entertainers, and changemakers.
As Executive Producer, I was responsible for shaping the programme's creative vision, editorial direction, and overall production strategy. From concept development and guest selection to storytelling and audience engagement, I helped build a platform dedicated to meaningful, in-depth conversations that informed, inspired, and challenged perspectives.
Over two successful seasons, Up Close established itself as a respected destination for compelling interviews and thought-provoking discussions, featuring prominent figures from across business, politics, culture, entertainment, and civil society.
Proven results that speak for themselves.


Through powerful storytelling and high-profile interviews, Up Close connected audiences with influential voices shaping the future. The programme's success demonstrated the value of thoughtful journalism, authentic engagement, and conversations that go beyond headlines.

Few conversations embody the power of storytelling quite like an interview with Oprah Winfrey.
As part of Up Close on eNCA, I had the privilege of engaging one of the world's most influential media figures, philanthropists, and cultural leaders in a conversation that explored leadership, purpose, impact, and the responsibility that comes with influence.
This interview remains a significant professional milestone and reflects the calibre of conversations that have defined my work throughout my career. It represents the commitment to creating content that informs, inspires, and connects audiences with extraordinary people and ideas.
