Jo Salter - Making Hstory

Imagine being in control of 25 million pounds of screaming metal flying just above the ground - decisions have to be immediate, reflexes lightning fast. For Jo Salter, this was just the day job when she became Britains first female fighter pilot flying the Tornado GR1, then one of only 5 women fighter pilots in the world.

As a combat ready pilot with the 617 Squadron, the Dambusters, Jo experienced operational tours of duty and took part in large international NATO exercises around the world. Working in intelligence and as a fast jet instructor, her tales from such an elite world offer alternative insights into personal development, meeting challenges and succeeding in the face of adversity.

More recently Jo has been working in e-commerce and management consultancy in the public and the private sector. She is also an Associate Lecturer for the Open University Business School on their Certificate of Management programme.

Achievement is a way of life for Jo and, yes, achievement while living in the real world as a daughter, sister, partner, parent and friend. Jo is a determined and visionary realist so be prepared to be challenged.

St Catherine's will make an honorarium to Jo's chosen charity Global Angels Charity Number 1102826.
