Fiona credits much of her success to the principles she learned in overcoming adversity and embracing the idea that no aspiration was too big for her.  Born in a regional manufacturing town in the northwest of England, Fiona was the first in her family to go to college, graduating from Oxford University before moving to London to teach in inner-city schools through the prestigious Teach First program.  Through this experience Fiona developed the compassion to embrace people of all backgrounds, from people with the toughest of upbringings through to society’s most privileged, including Lords and Ladies.  She recognized that no matter a person’s background, there are always stories of struggle and a great deal to be gained from embracing our humanity.  Fiona’s ability to relate to people of all backgrounds was a key ingredient to her success in the business world as a business development professional, project manager, business director, and more.  Her career enabled her to work in various business functions, geographic locations, and leadership positions.  A British native, Fiona relocated to Seattle to manage the relationship between Rolls-Royce and The Boeing Company before being headhunted by Parker Aerospace.   In both roles Fiona was the first female and youngest person ever to serve.

Throughout her career Fiona has been very passionate about developing others.  During her two-year experience with Teach First Fiona was the facilitator for the Teach First Westminster Professional Development Group, where she held monthly development sessions for her peers.  In her time at Rolls-Royce she designed and delivered a variety of training courses that enhanced the performance of various departments she worked for.  In addition, she was also on the board for Rolls-Royce Women, where she developed and implemented mentoring and coaching programs for their members.   Fiona’s passion for female leadership extended beyond Rolls-Royce, speaking at multiple women’s leadership events and supporting the establishment of women’s networks.
