Doniya Soni-Clark
Associate Director of External Affairs, techUK
Doniya Soni-Clark is Associate Director of External Affairs at techUK, where she leads the organisation's relationships with key political stakeholders and ensures the voice of the UK tech sector is heard loud and clear - in Westminster, Whitehall, and beyond. She is responsible for shaping techUK's political engagement strategy and representing members' interests to media, translating complex tech policy into compelling narratives that cut through.
With a career spanning public affairs, public policy, and industry advocacy, Doniya brings a combination of political instinct and policy depth. She began her career at Westbourne Communications before joining techUK in 2015 as Policy Manager for Skills — her first stint at the organisation. She then moved to the Greater London Authority as Principal Policy Officer, before spending seven years at Multiverse, the fast-growing British Edtech scale-up, as Head of Policy and Public Affairs. Her return to techUK brings that experience full-circle.
Doniya is a committed advocate for the UK's tech ecosystem and understands what it takes to grow a business in a complex regulatory and political environment - having lived it from the inside.
Doniya holds an MSc in Public Policy from the London School of Economics and a BA in Economics & Politics from the University of Exeter.
