#196 Louise Adams - Energised by Possibility. IWD Special Interview

In this special International Women's Day episode, we sit down with Louise Adams, Aurecon's incoming Group Chief Executive Officer, for an inspiring conversation about leadership, engineering, and creating pathways for women in STEM.

Louise shares her remarkable journey from a little girl fascinated by bridges to becoming the leader of a global organization with 7,500 people across 31 locations. She opens up about redefining success beyond personal achievement, the critical importance of engineers in solving our most pressing global challenges, and how she navigates leadership transitions while preserving company culture.

With candid reflections on past leadership lessons and a passionate vision for more inclusive industries, Louise embodies this year's International Women's Day theme, #marchforward. Join us for this thoughtful discussion about creating a future where everyone can make choices based on their potential rather than societal expectations – a conversation brimming with hope, possibility, and the transformative power of determined leadership.
