She progressed to the role of producer in 2012 before leaving CNN International in 2014 for a role as assistant producer for CNBC's breakfast programming, Squawk Box Europe, Worldwide Exchange and Closing Bell.

On her return to CNN International in 2015, Stewart was promoted to the position of reporter, specialising international business, technology, politics and the British royal family.[5]

In May 2018 Stewart was involved in the coverage of the Royal wedding of Prince Harry and former actress Meghan Markle reporting mostly from Windsor Castle for CNN, CNN International and HLN[6]. She has also covered the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the Coronation of King Charles III.[7]

In 2019 she co-anchored the United Kingdom general election from CNN's headquarters in Atlanta, breaking down the results on the magic wall through the night.[8] In response to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, Stewart launched The Good Stuff, a strand of 60 second reports focusing on positive news stories.

Stewart is a regular attendee and speaker on the international conference circuit, including at CES, Mobile World Congress, Viva Tech, Web Summit, GITEX, World Air Transport Summit, Watches and Wonders, and the World Government Summit.[9]

In 2021 Stewart launched the first series of Decoded a CNN produced show on trends in technology[10]. The show is predominantly shot from Dubai and covers fields ranging from the metaverse[11], cryptocurrency, wearables, AI[12] and autonomous vehicles[13]
