In 2011, Roy was called in to moderate the World Summit on bidding for future Olympic Games by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Previously, he had also moderated the global Olympics conferences in Lausanne, Rio de Janeiro and Beijing.

His early career began in television and radio, where he presented music and interview-based programmes. Roy Sheppard was also involved in production and script writing, but his main area of expertise was in live television. From 1985-91, he was an anchorman of the early evening news for the BBC in London.
He has been a visiting lecturer at Henley School of Management, and at Cranfield University’s full-time MBA course.
A trained therapist, as a relationships speaker, Roy Sheppard is knowledgeable, funny, inspirational and thought-provoking.
