Koko Casey

Director. Resilience and Lived Experience.

Koko Casey leads TriAxis Global’s work on resilience and the human experience of catastrophic failure. Her career spans Intensive Care nursing, Motorsport Trauma nursing and International Flight nursing. Her last mission as a flight nurse was on 18 November 2009, aboard the Pel-Air medevac jet that crashed into the ocean at night in a storm. She survived a catastrophic system failure.

In the years that followed she worked through the physical and psychological consequences of the event and pursued investigative and legal accountability. She completed a research degree in 2024 focused on surviving trauma and has authored a book, STAY, drawn from that experience.

Her keynote practice addresses training, teamwork, survival, resilience and the balance required to sustain performance in high-consequence industries. In sectors where those in the room have often seen things that cannot be unseen, her contribution carries an authority that credentials alone cannot provide.
