Profile

Michael Jonga

Director Africa
AI12

Michael Jonga is a global communicator, broadcaster, and interviewer, dedicated to connecting people, industries, and ideas through the power of storytelling. With over 20 years of public speaking experience—spanning debate, oratory, journalism, and event hosting—Michael has established himself as a leading voice in aviation media and international communications.

His journey began with a dream to start an airline which turned into a passion for aviation, which led him to study aerospace and aviation engineering in Eastern Europe. However, his innate gift for communication and a deep love for media saw him take an unconventional path—merging aviation expertise with journalism, broadcasting, and corporate communications. Today, he specializes in high-level interviews, moderating industry events, and crafting impactful narratives that resonate globally.

Inspired by media icons like Oprah Winfrey, David Rubenstein, Myles Munroe and Steve Harvey, Michael blends sharp industry insight with engaging storytelling, making him a sought-after host and interviewer for C-suite executives, founders, and thought leaders. He has worked extensively in aviation, insurance, and business communications, shaping conversations that drive innovation and connectivity.

At his core, Michael is more than just a broadcaster—he is a platform for others to share their stories. His mission is to give individuals, businesses, and industries a voice on the global stage, making complex topics accessible and fostering meaningful dialogue. Whether on television, at industry summits, or across digital media, Michael Jonga is building a personal brand that transcends borders—one conversation at a time.
