Marie has been in the role as the leader of the G20’s only dedicated infrastructure organisation for nearly a year now and has great insights to share about the organisation, its key pillars and new initiatives moving into 2020. Marie was previously the head of APAC for Atkins Acuity, the advisory business of Atkins and SNC Lavalin group. Before joining Atkins in 2015, she headed the Infrastructure Initiatives department of the World Economic Forum, where she led their thought leadership activities, publishing several reports on best practices in the infrastructure sector. She led the dissemination effort of these best practices to governments and advocated to coalitions such as the B20 and the G20. Recently the GiHub launched InfraChallenge, a global infrastructure competition designed to drive disruption in the infrastructure industry – a sector that has been slow to embrace digital change. For your background, the GI Hub is a G20 initiative launched at the G20 meeting in Brisbane in 2014, and is based in Sydney, with a global mandate to help support public and private investment in quality infrastructure around the world.
