Meet our Series Ambassadors
Driving Positive Change Together.
As part of our International Women's Day Event Series, we are proud to introduce our 2025 Series Ambassadors, a group of exceptional women in mining dedicated to championing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the resources sector.
These remarkable women will collaborate to showcase their unique approaches to DEI, share personal achievements, and reveal their sources of motivation. They will be at the forefront of our International Women's Day campaign, actively shaping conversations and spearheading our collective efforts to drive positive change together.

Teams that leverage diversity and empower each other are the most successful teams. Sustainable change isn’t achieved solely by systems and policies, it requires passionate diversity advocates and allies at all levels of the organisation to create an inclusive culture where individuals feel like they belong and can bring their whole selves to work.

Power and privilege demand responsibility - not just to lead, but to advocate, sponsor, and uplift those whose voices often go unheard. By helping others rise, we strengthen the collective, and the rewards far surpass the effort. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else.

Paramount to positive change is having the conversation. Demonstrating the courage to lead the conversation whilst creating environments that unlock diverse voices to be heard. Empowering others to disrupt their norm will inspire others to value and understand women’s participation and provide equal opportunities.
