Judith Bogner is a television presenter, journalist, event facilitator and commentator for international finance, business, economics and geopolitics based between the UK and Germany. For more than ten years she was one European faces of the financial news channel Bloomberg Global Television in London.

These include event moderation, media and communications consultancy, conflict management and mediation (accreditation in the UK), support in strategic decision-making and leadership of Client Advisory Boards. Judith’s portfolio career also includes working in front of the camera – not only as a journalist, but also as a classic model and actress. In 2015 she made her screen debut in the role of the Austrian Chancellor’s wife in the film “Mission Impossible – Rogue Nation”. Her range of experience also includes working as a voiceover artist and digital host.

Some recent examples: Since 2014 Judith has been serving as Master of Ceremony for the annual Luxembourg Renminbi Forum, the Eurozone’s flagship event for doing business in Renminbi. At the Hannover Fair 2015 she joined the Indo-German Business Summit with Keynote Speakers Chancellor Angela Merkel and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and hosted a panel discussion with Joe Kaeser (Siemens), Cyrus Misty (Tata Sons), Baba Kalyani (Bharat Forge) and Klaus Rosenfeld (Schaeffler AG). At the Euro Finance Week 2016 in Frankfurt Judith co-hosted the opening day’s “German Banking Panel” with the top 7 German banking CEOs, facilitated the European-Chinese Banking Day as well as the Faros Institutional Investors Forum with special guest speaker ECM council member Yves Mersch.
Judith gained her reputation as a competent presenter with integrity at the Bloomberg television studio: Between May 2001 and October 2011, she was the responsible presenter for a large part of the European programme in English and German. Her responsibilities also included European summit coverage and syndicated reports for media partners Bloomberg UTV India, Bloomberg HT Turkey, N24 and FAZ Radio. She conducted numerous interviews with financial market players and leading figures from business and politics, including former EU Commission Presidents Jose Manuel Barroso and Jean-Claude Juncker, Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche, Nestlé Chairman Peter Brabeck-Letmathe and WPP CEO Sir Martin Sorrell. In the wake of the global financial crisis, which started in 2007 with a wave of losses from asset-backed securities, Judith moderated the series “Credit Quake: Europe on the Abyss”, a series on all aspects of the subprime crisis, the collapse of Lehman and the consequences on the international financial markets. The series was nominated for an AIB (Association for International Broadcasting) award in 2009.
Judith is a qualified hotel management assistant and a graduate of the innovative course of studies “Applied World Business Languages and International Management” with a focus on China and the financial sector at the Hochschule Bremen. She spent her year abroad at the East China Normal University in Shanghai, supplemented by an internship at Commerzbank Shanghai. Judith is bilingual in English and German, furthermore she speaks Italian, French and Mandarin Chinese.
Judith is an accredited mediator and member of the UK’s Civil Mediation Council.
Judith was born and raised in Weiden in der Oberpfalz, a small town in Northern Bavaria, Germany. After stations in Switzerland, China, France, Italy and the Ukraine, London became her home in 2001. Since 2016 she has lived with one foot in Great Britain and the other in Germany. When time allows, she exchanges high heels for rubber boots and takes care of the garden and the bees on her family estate in Bavaria.
Through yoga and shamanic studies Judith has found a conscious way of life. She is certified as a Kundalini Yoga teacher and Shamanic Practitioner. She is an alumna of the South English Shamanism School “Sacred Trust” and has studied with Simon Buxton, Sandra Ingerman, Naomi Lewis, Kate Shela, Betsy Bergström and Serge Kahili King.
