Fiona McCarthy spent over twenty years in aviation, helping build medical evacuation networks and humanitarian air operations across Africa. She led international panels on how civilian crews were often the real backbone behind military missions on the continent, navigating high-stakes logistics that made debugging look easy. After watching aviation evolve from hands-on flying to drones and complex automation, she pivoted into digital media, co-founding a fast-growing digital-first radio platform despite having no radio or marketing background.
Fiona's outsider perspective revealed how digital tools often miss real human behaviour, and she now focuses on how developers can design tech that measures authenticity, not vanity metrics.
