In Part 3 in our weekly Technology in Supply Chains Series, we speak with highly accomplished naval architect, and President of WISTA Australia, Monika Lemajic. Monika has served with distinction across multiple domains, and has been a noticeable champion of women in maritime; her unique pursuit of (true and practical) equality is particularly admirable.
Monika's experience directly informs how she works with people, processes and technology, which has lead to a number of transformational outcomes: Listen in to hear Monika's very own 'Hidden Figures' moment!

4. WISTA Australia: Community building, support, partnerships and advocacy

6. People, processes and technology (tools) - Startups and digital twins
A special mention and thank you to AMSA (the Australian Maritime Safety Authority) who has proactively demonstrated global leadership in championing the cause of women, and protects Australia and our regions' maritime environment from disasters, risks and threats.
