Two local IET Fellows talk

Amelia began her career as an Engineering Officer in the Royal Navy, she served for 11 years before becoming an Enterprise Architect for digital transformation. She then moved to BAE Systems where she was a Technical Authority, Chief of Staff to the CEO, finally leading the Maritime Combat Systems business.
