from conference to Gala Dinner

What an inspirational panel led by strong female change-makers! While conversations about indigenous rights and climate justice are for everyone, as an engineer I especially draw motivation from discussions on the nexus of climate change, resilience, and global development. … My big takeaways… 1. The construction industry needs to be engaging with the local communities in our development projects. Their role is more than providing a signature on a form, they need to be engaged as key stakeholders and involved throughout the process. Listen to their desires and values. 2. Don’t just rebuild, rebuild better. Learn from our engineering pitfalls, and built back infrastructure to a higher level of resilience. With resilient structure there is often a higher embodied carbon cost, we must find the balance between material intensity and engineering to “future proof” our hazard prone communities. Global warming is increasing the recurrence and intensity of many extreme weather events, how can we engineer to meet future demands? 3. Every new infrastructure project can be a green-infrastructure project. Can we build in a way that enhances the community experience and rather than building to meet a need? Are there opportunities to promote low carbon transit, implement solar, reduce heat-island effect, or cultivate community? … Thanks Oxfam Aotearoa

# Empowering Women in Tech Startups: A Call to Action 🚀👩💻 As we continue to push the boundaries of innovation in the tech world, it's crucial that we harness the full potential of our talent pool. Yet, women remain significantly underrepresented in tech startups. It's time to change that narrative. Here's why empowering women in tech startups matters: 1. Diversity drives innovation: Different perspectives lead to creative solutions and better products. 2. Representation matters: More women leaders inspire the next generation of female tech entrepreneurs. 3. Economic impact: Studies show that gender-diverse companies perform better financially. What can we do? - Mentorship programs: Experienced professionals, let's pay it forward. - Inclusive hiring practices: Review your processes for unconscious bias. - STEM education: Support initiatives that encourage girls to pursue tech careers early. - Funding equality: VCs and angel investors, let's level the playing field. Share your thoughts: What strategies have you seen work in empowering women in tech? Let's start a conversation and drive real change. #WomenInTech #DiversityInStartups #TechInnovation #GenderEquality #becentral #Fotifclub

I always dreamed of working in insurance... Said no one ever. In fact, my wife thought insurance was the most boring career imaginable—until I moved into pensions 😅 But after nearly 20 years working with insurance, I can honestly say it's anything but boring. Here’s why: 1️⃣ Insurance matters—just ask anyone affected by recent extreme weather 2️⃣ Insurance touches everything—from cars and homes to cyber risks, healthcare, and pensions 3️⃣ Insurance is complex—it combines data, finance, law and more, making it both challenging and fascinating! For lawyers like me, insurance is the holy grail. It’s where law is at the core of the business: From licenses & regulations ➡️ to claims & distribution models From data & pricing ➡️ to litigation & investments Even the product itself is legal ➡️ a promise Attending last week’s Insurance Law Association meeting in Stockholm was a great reminder of this. The organization has been around since 1932 and remains stronger than ever (see repost below). Lawyers, academics, and even Supreme Court judges have discovered what my wife hasn’t yet—insurance rocks 🤘 Insurance law and advisory services remain a cornerstone of my consultancy business. And I couldn’t be happier about that (even if my wife still doesn’t get it!) Here’s to an exciting 2025—fingers crossed you won’t need an insurance lawyer. But if you do… 👋 #FörsäkringsjuridiskaFörsäkringsjuridiska föreningen #insurancerocks
