In this episode of Women in Transport, we’re speaking to Siu Mun Lee about her 25 year career in infrastructure projects.
We discuss the fast pace of large scale projects, the value of taking a pause to re-evaluate your career, and the importance of networks and community. Siu reflects on how her Chinese background shaped her childhood and career aspirations, and how attitudes to bullying and racism have changed.
