The AIBs 2024 host
Otelli Edwards
With a career in journalism spanning 20 years, Otelli has made her mark on Singapore’s media landscape across TV, radio, podcasts and print. As one of the leading news presenters at CNA — named Channel of the Year (AIB 2020 Awards) — Otelli currently anchors East Asia Tonight, one of the network’s flagship news bulletins. In this role, she delves into the region’s most pressing issues – spanning politics, policies, economies and markets – with the goal of helping global audiences better understand Asia.
Over the years, Otelli has conducted interviews with a wide range of influential figures, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, boxing legend Manny Pacquiao and musician/artist Kanye West. Her background as a former Singapore national sprinter has given her an edge in chasing down stories and interviewees — even in heels!
Otelli has also covered some of the world’s most pivotal news events, including the assassinations of Benazir Bhutto and Shinzo Abe, the coup d’état in Myanmar and key regional elections. Off-air, she shares her expertise by conducting media training workshops for government ministries, universities and companies.
