OneReg becomes a female-majority aviation technology company the week of International Women’s Day | News
OneReg, the next-generation aviation compliance platform transforming the way airports and airlines manage safety and regulatory oversight, has achieved a rare milestone for aviation technology: the company is now officially a female-majority organization, with women representing 60% of its global workforce.
The shift comes at a symbolic time – the week of International Women’s Day – and stands in stark contrast to the wider aviation industry, where women represent just 6% of the global workforce.one of the lowest levels of female representation in any major sector.
OneReg’s transition to a female-majority team has been bolstered by a number of new female hires, including the company’s first ever hire in the Middle East.
A milestone for aviation, technology and safety leadership
OneReg’s executive leadership team is also 50% 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 after 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 environment.
“Aviation is a safety-critical industry built on systems, accountability and clarity, yet for decades the teams that designed these systems rarely reflected the diversity of the people who worked in them,” said Carly Waddleton, co-founder and CCO of OneReg. “Becoming a female-majority company is not a PR moment for us. It is a reflection of the kind of organization we are building; one where diverse perspectives strengthen decision-making, operational empathy and ultimately safety.”
Why representation matters in compliance and security
In safety-critical environments like aviation, diverse teams consistently demonstrate stronger decision-making – with inclusive teams making better business decisions up to 87% of the time[ii]. Yet many aerospace technology companies are still dominated by strong, male-majority teams.
“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 because of good systems and the people who build them. When you bring more voices into the room, you build better, safer and more future-proof aviation.”
