In this episode of Top Floor , host Asari St-Hill sits down with Fiona Wylie, a passionate marketer and entrepreneur. From dreaming of a marketing career to launching her own business after starting a family, Fi shares how she built a company that embeds staff directly into client teams for a unique, results-driven approach. A firm believer in KPIs and meeting deadlines, Fi is equally committed to supporting women in business—especially in health. She even conducted her own research into why so many women were leaving the industry. Inspired by icons like Coco Chanel and Anita Roddick, she’s determined to drive positive change while growing her company’s success, keeping her team happy, and investing in their development. Beyond business, Fi is a self-proclaimed geek who loves reading. She shares her top book recommendations, including Pebbles of Perception , Get Your Sh * Together*, Agencynomics , and Alchemy . And if she had £100m? She’d invest in AI, give back to charity—especially the Hygiene Bank—and keep doing what she loves. Her advice? Do what you love, build a strong support network, and don’t buy into the idea that there are no friends in business—her experience proves otherwise. 🔗 Tune in now for insights, inspiration, and a refreshing take on business and leadership! #Marketing #Entrepreneurship #WomenInBusiness #Leadership #Success #TopFloorPodcast…
