Former RAF Navigator | Human Performance Specialist
Profile
Nic ‘Rosie’ Steevenson's journey through aviation and human performance is both inspiring and groundbreaking. With a career inaugurated in the high-stakes world of military aviation, Rosie has served as a trailblazer in a field traditionally dominated by men. As a former navigator of the Tornado F3, the fighter variant of the distinguished tornado aircraft, she has worked under intense pressure and critical situations that demanded the utmost precision and skill.
Rosie flew in the Tornado with her speaking partner Helen, as one of the very few all-female fast jet crews in the world. They both conducted Quick Reaction Alert, (QRA), protecting the skies of the United Kingdom. Rosie went on to become a highly qualified instructor and mentor, making significant strides in a challenging environment. She latterly flew missions as part of a developmental missile firings team, flying with test pilots from the world-renowned Empire Test Pilots School. It was here that she became fascinated by human performance, as even the highest-flying teams make mistakes.
After her tenure in aviation, Rosie pivoted towards specialising in human factors to optimize organisational performance and improve human wellbeing. This transition underlines her versatile expertise, focusing on how human elements integrate and thrive within complex systems. Her work now encompasses a broader spectrum, addressing organisational performance, safety, and well-being, with an emphasis on inclusive design for systemic improvement.
