In July of 2022, we hosted the second webinar of our Sustainable Megaprojects series in partnership with Oxford University’s Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment. The event was led by Leasil Burrow, Associate Fellow at the University of Oxford and Founder & Director of Minerva Imagines. Leasil was joined by Gali Glatt Simhi, VP of Quality and Innovation at NTA. Gali discussed her experiences as a female leader in the world of megaprojects and shared advice for women who want to carve out a successful career in the industry.
We were proud to host Gali and showcase her success story last summer and we are proud to finally announce today that the English translation of her book “Running Hurdles: How to Forge Ahead in Your Career as a Woman” is now available to order.
