Lynette is an ambitious aerospace engineer that is devoted to empowering others and changing the world one act at a time.

She was born and raised in Kampala, Uganda where she held several leadership roles throughout her formative years around driving change in her community and co-founded the first digital lifestyle magazine at the age of 18. This game changing brand transformed the communications industry and saw many print magazines build an online presence. Many years after it was dissolved, KGlam remains a household brand in Uganda. Despite many great challenges, Lynette pursued a degree in Aerospace engineering at the University of Liverpool because she wanted to transform her country’s engineering sector and inspire the youth to build their nation using the various fields of engineering. She became Uganda’s first Aerospace engineer with an MSc when she graduated from Imperial College London. Following her passion for aerospace, Lynette joined Rolls-Royce Plc where she has worked across three business sectors; Control Systems, Civil and Defence aerospace. Within these sectors she has designed and tested various engine components across the fuel, combustor, turbine and cabin bleed systems. She is currently working on the Tempest team that is designing the future combat aircraft systems that will keep our airspace safe. Alongside her career in aerospace, Lynette has helped shape and improve Rolls-Royce company culture and policies with her efforts in Diversity and Inclusion for both gender and black and ethnic minorities. She was awarded as the UK Top 20 women in data in 2019 and highly recommended in the Commonwealth category of the Women of the Future in 2020.
