She is responsible for developing and implementing the organisation’s strategies, as well as overseeing the day-to-day running including finance, operations and brand.

Fiona started her career as an Analyst at CIL Management Consultants, carrying out buy- and sell-side due diligence for investors and working on strategy projects for scale-up businesses. Before setting up FIGR and the Harrington Foundation in 2024, Fiona was Head of New Business Development for Hearst UK, where she diversified revenues by launching e-commerce platforms for home and lifestyle brands Country Living and House Beautiful. She later formed the Small Business Partnerships team to develop opportunities for entrepreneurs to access e-commerce, events and media opportunities. Fiona has a BSc in Physical Geography from Durham University and an MSc in Entrepreneurship from Cass Business School. During her Masters, Fiona ran a small painting business.
Outside of work, Fiona enjoys painting and drawing, (terrible) karaoke, walks with her dog Murphy and spending time with family.
