Mandy Hickson is a trailblazing aviator who became the first woman to fly the Tornado GR4 on the RAF front line. Today, Mandy transforms her extraordinary military experience into practical leadership insights for organisations worldwide.

As a former Royal Air Force fast jet pilot, Mandy completed 45 combat missions over Iraq and served as a Combat Survival and Rescue Officer during her 25-year military career. Her bestselling book "An Officer, Not a Gentleman" chronicles her journey, and she continues to serve as a trustee of the RAF Charitable Trust and Aviation Ambassador for the Department for Transport.

Mandy helps organisations navigate high-pressure environments by translating her cockpit experience into business strategies. Her expertise in human factors, understanding that up to 80% of accidents stem from human error, enables teams to make confident decisions under extreme pressure, build resilience, and develop effective communication systems that prevent costly mistakes.
