Meet Fiona
Fiona Young is the founder of Carve, the AI training company helping executive assistants become strategic, AI-fluent partners to their executives.
Before launching Carve in 2023, she spent 15,000+ hours of her career redefining what modern digital learning experiences look like.
Most recently she led learning programs at Hive Learning, the peer learning app that’s recognized as a top innovator in b2b learning tech.
Fiona built Hive’s learning content strategy, creating a cutting-edge approach to social learning that drove impressive outcomes for clients. She led a team of learning designers and crafted dozens of cohort-based programs (some award-winning) for corporate clients including household names in media, financial services, consulting, automotive, consumer products and sport.

She previously ran learning & development for Blenheim Chalcot, one of the world’s most successful venture builders, overseeing group learning strategy and programs for 3,000 people across 25 ventures.
Fiona started her career as an executive assistant in venture capital. She has a degree in Economics from the University of California at Santa Barbara.
Fiona is Californian by birth, but a Londoner by choice. When not behind her laptop she’s usually found roaming Hyde Park or eating her way through London’s endless restaurant scene.
