Rosie Wheen is the CEO of WaterAid and Non-Executive Board Director at The Australian Council of International Development. In this episode we talk about her formative education experience in Hong Kong, her entry into aid work and her journey into senior leadership. She talks genuinely about not making it to the CEO role in her first attempt and her learning, positioning and success in her second attempt. It is the kind of story you don’t hear often from C-suite leaders – how they got there. We talk about privilege and how to use it for others and we learn about the privilege of having water, sanitation and hygiene in our country. Did you know that 785 million people don’t have clean water close to home, 2 billion people don't have a decent toilet of their own? Think about living through a pandemic under these conditions and hear our collective call to action: Donate to WaterAid: www.wateraid.org/au. Please enjoy listening to the authentic, resilient and game changing leadership of Rosie Wheen.
