SPEAKING

Keynote addresses. Panel interviewer. Master of ceremonies. Panelist. Guest speaker.

Through the power of honest and authentic storytelling, i strive to inspire innovation and motivate change.

In my presentations, I draw on my 20+ years experience working in multidisciplinary teams, large corporate organisations, as a female founder of a consultancy business and as the Chairperson for Women in Technology (WiT).

My expertise ranges from digitisation, innovation, people and culture. I talk about operational and transformational change within an organisation and how to deal with these changes effectively.

My audiences ranges from large organisations of 7000+ to smaller organisations of 110+. I’ve worked with corporate, not-for-profit, and government organisations, as well as university student cohorts. I am also a professional workshop facilitator.

“I had the pleasure of working with Iyari Cavellos as the Master of Ceremonies for the 2025 Pearcey Awards Queensland. Iyari brought a perfect mix of warmth, professionalism, and enthusiasm to the stage, that set an engaging tone for the evening. Her deep understanding of the technology and innovation landscape made her the perfect host, she connected naturally with our audience, award recipients, and speakers, and ensured every part of the program flowed seamlessly. She managed the timing, transitions, and energy of the event with precision and calm confidence, keeping everything running smoothly while maintaining a vibrant, celebratory atmosphere. Iyari’s presence elevated the experience for everyone involved, and I’d highly recommend her as an MC or speaker for any event looking to combine professionalism, authenticity, and connection.”
