The mother of three was drawn to the idea of being a ‘digital nomad’ - she wanted the flexibility of working anywhere, anytime. Fiona dedicated her efforts to learning about the world of digital marketing. She founded a consultancy business, spoke at events, and published books. However, a car accident in 2014 derailed Fiona’s progress, and she had to fight through years of chronic pain and all that came with it to re-establish herself. In 2020, Fiona launched her e-commerce business. By combining her accumulated skills with a powerful purpose, she developed a brand that resonated with her audience, which resulted in her being able to create a multiple 7-figure business within 18 months. Fiona is now three years into her e-commerce journey and is now close to launching in the EU.
