Speakers

Emily Harbottle is the founder of Cascade Risk Management and the driving force behind Cascade, a purpose-built digital safety case platform transforming how organisations manage HRB risks. A former British Army helicopter pilot, instructor and aviation regulator, Emily further developed her expertise in system safety and risk management during her time with the UK Military Aviation Authority.

Following her military career, Emily launched a consultancy focused on aviation safety, working globally with the International Civil Aviation Organisation to deliver training on Safety Management Systems. Her work has since extended into healthcare, maritime, nuclear and housing, giving her a cross-sector understanding of how complex systems fail and how they can be made safer through proactive, structured risk management.

Emily holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Safety and Human Factors in Aviation and is a Member of the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM).

With Cascade, she is applying this experience to the housing sector, offering a platform that replaces static documents with a live, auditable and collaborative safety case tool. Cascade simplifies the process of writing and managing safety case reports and helps organisations meet regulatory deadlines while driving risk visibility and accountability.
