Fiona Church

Fiona Church is Co-Founder and COO of Trendspek, a Sydney-based Precision Asset Intelligence software company transforming how critical infrastructure is inspected and managed using 3D digital twins and drone technology.
A former Qantas 747 pilot, Fiona broke barriers as a woman in an industry where just 5% of pilots are female, before co-founding Hoverscape in 2013, one of Australia's first commercial drone services companies.
Fiona holds an Air Transport Pilots Licence and is a certified UAV operator, bringing a high-stakes evidence standard and operational discipline from aviation directly into every customer engagement at Trendspek.
Fiona co-founded Trendspek in 2018 alongside Derek Feebrey and Mitch Deam, serving as COO and focusing on ensuring customer outcomes are delivered, while actively championing diversity in tech through initiatives like Apropela.
Trendspek now serves over 860 organisations across 1,700+ sites, has completed 128,000 virtual site visits, and has raised over $12M in funding, with its critical-infrastructure client base growing 165% annually over the past three years.
