This episode of the 66 Voices Podcasts invites two influential women in STEM focussed roles to explore their connection through ARUP (the creative force at the heart of many of the world’s most prominent projects - such as the London Olympic stadium), their similarities and differences, find commonalities and how it's okay to have a messy home.

Joanna Rowelle, Director at ARUP, and Emma Porter, Managing Director at Story Contracting, discuss family backgrounds, grandmas, first days at work, how to be a compassionate leader and the all too familiar imposter syndrome.

Joanna Rowelle has 20 years’ experience working with cities and regions in the UK and overseas. Specialising in economic development strategies, regeneration projects, masterplans and investment plans, she is currently working on the government Town Fund.

Working in the construction industry for over 10 years, Emma Porter also sits on many boards such as Cumbria’s Local Enterprise Partnership and Cumbria Community Foundation. She is dedicated to mentoring new and aspiring young leaders.
