My vision is to be the catalyst for positive change, moving towards purposeful success, innovation, and lasting impact in an ever-evolving world. This happens through empowered individuals and organisations, that have a clear path to their full potential.

With a technical background in database administration, SQL reporting, business intelligence, business analytics and anything application centric - I've seen many technical teams focus solely on the technical skills. While obviously needed, the culture within a team and organisation are created from so much more.

I'm passionate about bringing the human skills back in to focus in technical roles. We all need to know how to work and grow together as people.

Fiona McCarthy spent over twenty years in aviation, helping build medical evacuation networks and humanitarian air operations across Africa. They 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, they pivoted into digital media, co-founding a fast-growing digital-first radio platform despite having no radio or marketing background.
Their outsider perspective revealed how digital tools often miss real human behaviour, and they now focus on how developers can design tech that measures authenticity, not vanity metrics.
