Catherine Fernandez

At the British Consulate General in Miami, I advise senior leaders across 25+ diplomatic missions on crisis preparedness, response, and operational resilience.

I lead end-to-end crisis capability programmes, from needs assessment and curriculum design to training, simulations, evaluation reports, and actionable improvement plans. I've trained 100+ global staff and directed complex live exercises that test real-world response capability.

Previously, I coordinated consular operations across the Americas, supported Director-level engagement across 30+ international posts, and managed a £500K budget with accountability for compliance, forecasting, and reporting.

My earlier work with the American Bar Association included coordinating national programmes and legal training events, alongside developing procedures that improved efficiency and accreditation compliance.
