KYLIE REID / EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND / AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE
I’m the founder of egg, and over the past decade I’ve hosted more than 300 events, bringing fascinating people, brilliant stories and big ideas to the stage.
I know what makes a room come alive. From putting speakers at ease and asking the questions that really matter, to getting audiences laughing, thinking and talking long after the event is over.
Whether I’m hosting a conference, moderating a panel or helping shape an event from the outset, I bring the experience, energy and connections to make it something special.

HOSTING & MODERATING
I host conferences, awards ceremonies, business events and live conversations, bringing warmth, humour and a genuine understanding of what makes an event work.
I do my homework, put people at ease and know when to follow the script — and when to throw in a question nobody was expecting.
I’ve interviewed everyone from household names to brilliant business founders, including Lorraine Kelly, Dame Kelly Holmes, Gail Porter and Lady Sarra Hoy.

ABOUT KYLIE
A decade of bringing people together. And a story or two to tell.
I’m the founder of egg, one of Scotland’s best-known women’s communities, which I’ve spent more than a decade building from an idea into a thriving business.
Along the way, I’ve hosted hundreds of events, interviewed some fascinating people and worked with some of the UK’s biggest brands. I’ve also learned a thing or two about what makes people tick, how to get a room talking and why the best conversations are rarely the scripted ones.
Today, I bring all of that experience to the stage as an event host, interviewer and panel moderator. I love getting beneath the surface, putting people at ease and creating the kind of conversations that audiences actually want to listen to.
I also work with businesses to help their people become more visible, share their stories and build stronger connections. Because after ten years of building a community and a business, one thing I’m certain of is that people connect with people.
IN THEIR WORDS
Testimonials
“You were amazing. So calm, engaging and friendly.”
There were so many lovely moments across the day and as a member of the audience said to me you are a ‘smooth operator’ and made what is actually a difficult job seem effortless. We’d love you to come back.
Evelyn McDonald / CEO, Scottish EDGE
“Kylie was an absolute pleasure to work with and the perfect host for our very first SK Inspire Series. Her warmth, professionalism and natural ability to engage with the audience made the day incredibly special. She brought fantastic energy to the event, and we received wonderful feedback from our guests. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kylie to anyone looking for an exceptional event host.”
