Suzanne Kianpour is an Emmy-nominated journalist and former BBC foreign affairs and political correspondent and host whose work spans war zones and diplomatic corridors. Her prescient documentary on the Iran-Israel covert war — warning that the globally destabilizing conflict was coming “Out of the Shadows” as it was titled — earned her a Presenter of the Year nomination by the Association of International Broadcasters, alongside her acclaimed series Women Building Peace. As the founder of Helmet to Heels, she blends global affairs with unexpected cultural angles to tell stories that resonate across borders and capture news avoidant audiences.
