To put it simply, Abi is one of the most brilliant cultural entrepreneurs I've ever met. She is the producer of the RSA's path-breaking RSA Animate series which has not only had 100m plus views, but has also had a major global impact on how big ideas are communicated to large numbers of people. She's also been the brain behind many other ideas, innovations, video series and curated events at the RSA, lifting its profile to become a major hub of cultural and political innovation.

Abi organised and hosted an RSA talk for my book 'The Ten Types of Human' - and I must record how impressed I was by her vision, depth of knowledge, range of interests and passion. The body of work she curates materially adds to our most important conversations, in-person and online. It adds to our culture and embellishes it.

Abi doesn't just tap into the zeitgeist; she shapes it. She has an incredible knack for spotting the most interesting people and ideas around and presenting them in a way that helps us understand the unfolding story of our times.

Bestselling Author and Former Speechwriter to Al Gore.

Abi is amazing. I worked with her three times on live events at the RSA, which were all brilliantly organized and promoted. Also, Abi was the driving force behind two RSA Animate videos that together have collected nearly 21 million views. She saw the potential for the animated approach well before I did. And she oversaw production, distribution and publicity with skill and panache. I'd work with her again in a second. And I hope I get the chance.

Abi is dynamic and creative and her commitment to curating great events - often, crucially, with a digital afterlife - is second to none.

Publicity Director, Canongate

I worked with Abi for almost a decade on public talks by a wide variety of Canongate authors. On every occasion, she delivered a fantastic event with incredible professionalism and unflagging enthusiasm.

RSA Animates – a series she both introduced and produced – was also a gamechanger for us with the campaign for Dan Pink’s book on motivation, Drive; the video has now had almost 17.5 million views on YouTube alone, and the book continues to be one of our bestselling backlist titles.

Abi curated a very full programme featuring an exceptional line-up of world-class thinkers for RSA events in London with great efficiency and style. She is a joy to work with. She also commissioned and edited content for the very popular RSAnimate series made with the animator Andrew Park

Abi is an incredibly innovative and creative thinker. She made a major contribution to making the RSA's content a global brand. She has the unusual capacity both to have great ideas, and to be skilled at putting them into action.
