Director,
Women in Data ®

Speaker profile

After almost 4 decades in the data and analytics industry, Fiona joined ‘the great resignation’ to find a role with purpose at its core.  Joining Women in Data® gives her the opportunity to drive change and give back to the industry that has given so much to her. Her focus is to work with partners and community to attract and then retain women in the Data and AI space.

Fiona recognised the skills emergency our industry is facing in to, the urgency dialled up for her when she placed a gender lens over the sector.  With such a complex challenge in skilling the future workforce, Fiona remains determined that the support and retention of experienced female talent is a Women in Data® priority, and this will go a long way to tackle gender parity in data & tech overall.

When not at work you will find Fiona walking and travelling in the UK and beyond, as well as developing some of the new skills she picked up in the last few years.
