Louise Adams (civil engineer)

Louise Adams graduated from the Wharton Business School in 2018,[1] through the Chief Executive Women scholarship.

[3] She served as the chief executive for Australia and New Zealand at Aurecon, overseeing a workforce of 4,300 people.

[3][5] Previously Adams has said that the engineering sector has a "significant lack of cultural and gender diversity".

Promoted with images of hard hats and heavy machinery, a profession most suited to men.

I believe this has narrowed our thinking, our perspectives, it has created a gender imbalance, siloed cultural profiles and above all – stifled potential for diversity of thought and, in turn, innovation.
