I worked with Elliott on a 6 month long test project to build quantitative analysis data while he was anchor of MONEY FM’s breakfast show with a goal of developing actionable insights leading to improved reach during key points of the show.
I found him to be analytical and proactive. He was also able to digest and translate the various data sets into clear goals for his team which were very quickly realised – through a higher listener peak and longer TSL. (time spent listening)

Having worked with Elliott for a few years, I have seen his ability to pivot from pop radio host to TV presenter and to becoming a knowledgeable financial markets reporter.
During my time as executive editor of radio, he has shown good work ethic and qualities while leading his morning show team.
He has also shown a good understanding of geopolitics and demonstrates a strategic plan view while always putting the listener first.

Elliott Danker is an exceptional finance, sports and lifestyle editor as well as a talented financial radio presenter. I had the privilege of being a guest on his Money FM podcast and I was initially anxious about what to expect from a live studio recording and the knowledge base of the presenter. However, Elliott pleasantly surprised me with his extensive knowledge of financial current affairs. He went the extra mile to understand the profiles of his invited guests, resulting in engaging and intriguing sessions.
Throughout my interactions with Elliott, I have come to realise that he possesses a deep understanding and passion for investment banking. He effortlessly demonstrates exceptional people skills, being outgoing, friendly, warm, a good listener and highly approachable. His vast knowledge and expertise in the media industry, particularly in the financial sector, has equipped him with strong financial acumen, relationship-building abilities, attention to detail and sensitivity to market movements.
Undoubtedly, Elliott will be a valuable asset to any organisation fortunate enough to have him.

CEO, Citi
In my role as CEO of Citibank Singapore, I had the pleasure to speak with Elliott on a number of occasions while he was a host of Money FM.
No matter what the topic in financial services, Elliott demonstrated a depth of knowledge and sophistication that allowed us to have compelling, insightful conversations.
Also, I am highly comfortable in the radio format, but Elliott’s empathy and winning personality really helped me to relax. And his skill as an interviewer made me seem much more interesting that I actually am!
I look forward to have a change to work with Elliott again, and would happily be a guest on any program he is hosting in the future!

Over the years, I have done many Singapore Budget discussion with Elliott Danker during his time at Money FM. His ability to facilitate a broad-ranging, productive, thought provoking and respectful conversation around the Budget always impresses me and many of the panelists.
Elliott always demonstrated a deep understanding of the issues that mattered to Singapore and Singaporeans and asked insightful questions that bridged these issues with the Budget.
While he does not shy away from asking difficult questions, his calm and yet friendly demeanor created the right and inclusive environment for me and the panelists, enabling an open and honest sharing of views and suggestions, making every of these Budget sessions a great success in my view,
I will miss Elliott’s expertise and dedication in the moderation of these Budget sessions.
