About Keynote Speaker Eva Saha

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.

Eva Saha as a Moderator

Eva has never met a stranger. Her genuine curiosity, interest in humanity, and extroverted personality enable her to connect with people of all different personalities and backgrounds. She is a natural conversationalist with a quick wit and makes people feel comfortable and cared for. Interview subjects and audiences see her as a believable and trusted friend, bringing the best out of those stage guests and engaging event attendees.

But it’s more than her personality that makes Eva an ideal moderator. Eva studies each client company, panel topic, and interviewee so she can not only elicit entertaining and enlightening stories and information from her interview subjects, but she can weave in her clients’ messaging and make connections that will be meaningful to audiences.

From CEOs to customers and associates of her clients to celebrity guests, Eva makes the most out of any interview or moderated discussion. Her high-profile interviews include James Carville, Mary Matalin, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Serena Williams, Venus Williams, Michael Strahan, Cal Ripken, Jr., Derek Jeter, Emmitt Smith, Eli Manning, Grant Hill, Jim Kelly, Alex Rodriguez, Martina Navratilova, Laila Ali, Tony Hawk, Caitlin Clark, John Cena, Tom Hanks, Viola Davis, Rob Lowe, Michael J. Fox, Kevin Costner, America Ferrera, Marlee Matlin, Jennifer Hudson, Hoda Kotb, Erin Andrews, Chip and Joanna Gaines, Padma Lakshmi, Carla Hall, Glennon Doyle, Bill Nye, Arianna Huffington, Sanjay Gupta, Adam Grant, Suneel Gupta, Amy Edmondson, Jen Ashton, Jose Andres, Carl Benedikt Frey, Cleo Wade, and Diana Nyad.
