Dr Jo Salter MBE 

Dr Jo Salter MBE BEng (Hons), MBA, DA (h.c.), a trailblazer in aviation and leadership, is celebrated for her historic role as the first female fast jet pilot in the Royal Air Force. Flying the formidable Panavia Tornado, she joined the RAF at 18 and rapidly ascended through the ranks, ultimately becoming a Flight Lieutenant of the 617 Squadron. Beyond her military achievements, Jo has profoundly impacted the Air Cadets, inspiring future generations in the armed services. 

Her transition to the corporate world saw her excel in various leadership roles, including her current position as the Director of Global Transformative Leadership at PWC. An accomplished author, speaker and educator, Jo’s insights on resilience, leadership and overcoming adversity resonate deeply at events ranging from intimate briefings to international conferences. Her life’s journey, marked by determination and excellence, continues to inspire and educate, reflecting her profound commitment to empowering others.
