Dr Jo Salter MBE is famed for her former career as a member of the Royal Air Force, making headlines when she became the first female fast jet pilot of the Panavia Tornado. Now the Director of Global Transformative Leadership for PWC, Jo is also booked as a speaker for a range of corporate events. When booked as a speaker, Jo shares her expertise on global transformative leadership, along with how she broke glass ceilings in the male-dominated environment of the RAF.
When she was just 18 years old, Jo joined the Royal Air Force and completed studies at the Royal Military College of Science. Excelling in the forces, Jo ultimately became a Flight Lieutenant of the 617 Squadron and the first female fast jet pilot. She has since led Air Cadets Air Experience Flights, inspiring future generations of RAF officers and pioneering a male-dominated sector. Today, Jo acts as a Trustee of The Royal Air Force Club and shares her expertise of leadership and teamwork built in the RAF in her corporate career.
Now working a successful corporate career, Jo is the Global Advisory of GenAI, having formerly worked as the Director of Global Transformative Leadership for PWC.
