Biography
Nathan Strempel is one of Australia’s most engaging and dynamic Master of Ceremonies and Event Hosts.
With more than ten years of corporate entertainment experience behind him, Nathan is an expert at engaging a crowd and quickly developing rapport with his audiences.
Meticulous preparation, quick wit and the ability to keep an event on track while simultaneously adapting to last minute changes make him one of Australia’s most sought after MC’s with a long list of loyal clients.
His portfolio of work is extensive, having hosted conferences, corporate events and gala dinners for some of Australia’s most respected organisations, including UNIQLO, Telstra, Samsung, Allianz, Diageo, Lion, The Starlight Foundation, Duke of Edinburgh and a wide range of other corporates, charities, councils and sporting organisations.
A safe pair of trusted hands for your most important event, Nathan’s versatility ensures he is perfect for a wide range of events, from MC’ing black tie corporate events to facilitating a panel discussion and hosting lighter, more dynamic events with full crowd interaction, pre-event red carpet interviews and everything in between.
He is well known in Australian sporting circles for his work with the Richmond Tigers AFL, Melbourne City FC Soccer, Melbourne Rebels Rugby, Melbourne Renegades T20 Cricket, Melbourne United Basketball and a raft of other high profile, large-crowd spectaculars, regularly capturing the crowd’s attention at the SCG, MCG, Etihad Stadium, Rod Laver Arena, Hisense Arena and AAMI Park.
His move to Sydney has seen him work with the NRL, Sydney Swans and Sydney Kings, while TEG Live tapped into his experience to be one of their key corporate hosts for the 2019 International Basketball Series in Sydney and Melbourne.
Nathan enjoys a regular media presence across a variety of radio and TV, including as part of the NBL commentary team. He has also previously done work with Channel 10 and SEN Radio, while also hosting AFL TV show ‘Playin’ the Game’ alongside AFL Hall of Famer Wayne Carey and Mick McGuane.
Nathan is an ambassador for Pingpongathon, Autism SA, CARA and Craniofacial Australia, and in 2008 was a finalist for the Pride of Australia Medal as a result of his work with youth. In 2009 he was nominated for the Young South Australian of the Year, and in 2011 was the Australian delegate to the Duke of Edinburgh International Gold Experience.
