Fiona Daniel is a leadership, systems and culture expert, speaker and founder of Archangelica, a systems-led transformation practice helping organisations create the conditions for people and business performance to thrive.
With more than 25 years’ experience in organisational inclusion and leadership, Fiona has worked across complex organisations to understand how leadership decisions, organisational systems and workplace culture shape people’s experiences, opportunities and outcomes. Her corporate career included leading diversity and inclusion for HSBC UK, giving her first-hand experience of influencing change within one of the world’s largest banking and financial services organisations.
Fiona is particularly known for her ability to help leaders engage with complex and sometimes uncomfortable issues, including race, equity, inclusion and organisational culture. She creates space for honest conversation while challenging people to look beyond individual behaviours and initiatives to understand the wider conditions and systems that enable or constrain meaningful change.
Her approach is practical, thought-provoking and grounded in organisational reality. Rather than simply asking what needs to change, Fiona helps leaders examine what may be driving the issue beneath the surface, the impact of their everyday decisions, and the role they play in shaping the environment around them.
Through Archangelica, Fiona works with senior leaders and organisations to connect business priorities with the leadership, systems and culture needed to deliver them.At the heart of Fiona’s work is a simple belief: leaders are not outside the system. They help create the conditions in which people perform, progress and experience work and therefore have the power to change them.
She is also an experienced facilitator, awards judge, Trustee and Non-Executive Director.
