What does it look like to lead with purpose, build a dream team, and reshape a city’s future—all before 40?
In this episode of Women Who Move Nations, we meet Zoe Maher, Senior Principal and WA Strategic Rail Planning Lead at WSP. Proudly sponsored by NEC, in conversation with host Michelle Batsas, Zoe shares how two serendipitous career moments—one over office drinks—ignited her passion for public transport planning and ultimately led her to create and lead a powerhouse team focused on equitable, sustainable mobility.
From managing a team of 100 on the Morley–Ellenbrook rail project to founding Empower Hour to uplift women in engineering, Zoe’s story is as practical as it is inspiring.
“There will literally be thousands of people who’ll get an extra hour with their families every night—because of something we scribbled on a whiteboard.”
Tune in for real talk on impact, equity, leadership, and why saying “yes” early in your career can change everything.
