The shift comes at a symbolic moment – the week of International Women’s Day – and stands in stark contrast to the wider aviation industry, where women represent just 6 percent of the global workforce, one of the lowest levels of female representation in any major sector.
OneReg’s transition to a female majority team was cemented by several new female hires, including the company’s first ever hire in the Middle East.
OneReg’s executive leadership team is also 50 percent female, including co‑founder Carly Waddleton. With a background spanning agritech entrepreneurship and environmental regulation, she brought extensive regulatory and operational expertise to OneReg when she joined as co-founder following its initial inception. As the only woman on the founding team, she has been instrumental in driving the company forward — helping transform fragmented legacy processes into a more integrated and scalable compliance operating environment.
“Aviation is a safety critical‑ industry built on systems, accountability, and clarity – yet for decades, the teams designing those systems rarely reflected the diversity of the people working within them,” said Carly Waddleton, co‑founder and CCO, OneReg.
“Becoming a female majority company isn’t a PR moment for us. It’s a reflection of the kind of organisation we’re building; one where different perspectives strengthen decision-making, operational empathy, and ultimately, safety.”
In safety critical environments like aviation, diverse teams consistently demonstrate stronger decision–making, with inclusive teams making better business decisions up to 87 percent of the time. Yet many aviation technology firms remain dominated by engineering heavy, male-majorityteams.
“OneReg is intentionally building a different kind of culture – one where inclusive decision making directly strengthens safety and compliance outcomes,” Waddleton added. “Progress in aviation doesn’t happen by accident; it happens through good systems and the people who build them. When you bring more voices into the room, you build better, safer, more future-ready aviation.”
