Fiona is one of the most well-researched and thorough professionals I’ve ever worked with. She has an exceptional ability to connect the dots across complex topics in innovative ways.
A standout example of this was during the early days of COVID on the rollout and training for a new risk management process she developed. Where most would have simply adapted the existing agenda and slides for video calls, Fiona redesigned the entire program to incorporate best practices in virtual learning.
Six years later, it's still one of the best virtual trainings I’ve ever attended (and that's compared to companies that specialize in this space!).
