Linda Maloney – Former Naval Aviator & CEO of Veteran Women Speakers
Linda Maloney enlisted in the Navy at 17, but that was just beginning of her 20 year career. It was a career that continued to blaze the trail for women aviators. She was the first woman to eject from a Martin Baker ejection seat from her A-6 aircraft in 1991 over the Atlantic Ocean. She has a passion to give a voice to veteran women’s stories. Her book “Military Fly Mom”s and business Veteran Women Speakers exemplify this.

It might have been an eight year process but the results were well worth it. After interviewing over 100 women, 70 were chosen to be featured in the coffee table style book, Military Fly Mom. It offers a collection of inspiring stories of women, who all shared the same two dreams, becoming aviators in the military and being moms. It was awarded the Military Writers Society of America 2012 Creative Nonfiction Gold Medal Award and 2012 Stars and Flags Literary Award.
In addition Linda is the Project Director for the Proudly She Served project. This is another coffee table book that highlights women who have served in all different branches of the military. It tells their stories but also raises awareness of the challenges they face in transitioning out of the military.
Women Veteran Speakers
Linda founded, Women Veteran Speakers in 2015 as the first speaker’s agency of its kind. It is a place to connect exceptional women military veterans as event speakers, trainers, coaches and facilitators to paid speaking engagements, conferences, webinars, panels and forums.
