“I found Fiona’s workshop on Asian and Middle Eastern naming conventions thoroughly fascinating. I had no idea of the complexities and history of names and how they are used and changed. In a world where data is a new currency, Fiona’s expertise unlocks a vault of wealth. I am happy to recommend Fiona to anyone who works in financial or criminal intelligence.
