In this episode of Clocking Out, Raymond is joined by Dr. Fiona Jamison, a seasoned leader in people analytics and organizational research. Fiona’s remarkable career spans over 25 years and includes exiting and selling her company Spring International.
Fiona was born in the UK and moved to the US after college. With a Ph.D. in Human Resource Management from the University of Bristol, she’s a true expert in transforming complex data into actionable insights that drive business performance.
Fiona’s story is anything but conventional. She started at Spring International as a researcher with no ambition to rise to the top. That all changed when her boss began discussions about selling the company. Fiona saw an opportunity—and pitched herself as the new owner and CEO. After successful negotiations, she not only took the reins but grew the company for five years before ultimately selling it.
In today’s conversation, Fiona shares how she navigated this unexpected journey from researcher to CEO, the challenges and triumphs of owning a company, and the invaluable lessons she learned along the way. Her story is a testament to the power of seizing opportunity, embracing change, and boldly charting your own course.
