Cindy Poluta

Cindy Poluta is a digital wellbeing specialist and keynote speaker who helps parents, educators, and organisations navigate the impact of technology on mental health, behaviour, and connection.

With a gift for turning complex issues – screen time, social pressure, digital burnout, adolescent vulnerability – into clear, actionable strategies, Cindy brings calm authority, humour, and relatable storytelling to every stage.

Before stepping into the world of digital wellbeing, Cindy spent nearly 30 years in sports broadcasting, anchoring for 702, 947, and SuperSport, and travelling the world doing a job she still calls “the best and most surreal chapter” of her life. Away from the mic, she is deeply passionate about psychology, mental health, and youth support, volunteering as a lay counsellor across Johannesburg.

Blending media experience, human insight, and evidence-based tools, Cindy equips audiences to build healthier digital habits, stronger relationships, and more resilient communities in an always-on world.
