Eva Saha is a professional host, emcee, and moderator. She is well known for having worked as a TV personality on the Emmy Award-winning entertainment show “190 North” on Chicago’s ABC7. Her natural, warm, and commanding presence—both on and off-camera—has also made her the host of choice for a variety of in-person and virtual-event clients, from Fortune 500 companies to associations and nonprofit organizations.
Eva is known to bring out the best in people. She has interviewed the likes of political consultants James Carville and Mary Matalin; professional athletes Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Serena Williams, Derek Jeter, and Emmitt Smith; award-winning actors Tom Hanks, Viola Davis, Michael J. Fox, and Kevin Costner; author and activist Glennon Doyle; and Bill Nye the Science Guy. Eva’s ability to relate to all personalities and people of different backgrounds and cultures enables her to effectively interview and moderate discussions among Fortune 500 CEOs and associates of those companies alike.
A formerly practicing accountant for an international energy company and corporate attorney for a world-renowned firm, Eva brings focus, dedication, and depth to the job. Eva is an active volunteer and advocate for a plethora of causes, working to advance literacy and improve the welfare of disadvantaged women, children, and victims of abuse and human trafficking.
When she’s not working, you’ll find Eva enjoying all that her hometown of Chicago has to offer, traveling with family, or lounging on her couch reading a good book, watching a crime drama, or cheering on (sometimes screaming at) the University of Michigan football team.
