After a research degree in American Literature at King's College London, Amanda worked for the luxury menswear purveyor Alfred Dunhill and diamond producer De Beers, specialising in digital marketing and ecommerce.

Karam Bains
Before joining the team, Karam studied History at university where he built upon his love of learning about historical events and figures with an analytical approach. At Speaking Office, Karam works with the roster to create marketing materials and develop a client's speaking brand. Outside of the office, Karam enjoys going for a morning run, reading a good memoir and is an avid film enthusiast.
Zunera Bashir
Before joining Speaking Office, she spent almost four years as a Project Manager at an expert network, connecting organisations with specialists from all over the world. She has a Master’s degree in Biology from the University of Sussex. Studying science taught her a lot about curiosity and asking good questions, but it also made her realise she enjoys learning about people and their ideas even more than the science itself, which is what led her into the work she does today. Outside of work, Zunera loves spending time with friends, trying out new restaurants, and travelling whenever she gets the chance.
Dominika Tabisz
Dominika is a recent English Literature graduate from the University of Warwick. Starting out her career at Speaking Office, she assists both speakers and clients with everything they may need. When she’s not taking care of the speakers, Dominika likes to read, watch crime documentaries, and spend time with friends discussing all of the above.
