Lauren Evans

"Lauren Evans is a powerhouse business owner, CEO, and engineer. She has successfully built her engineering firm from the ground up and is widely respected in the resources industry. So much so, that she was invited to join the board of another private engineering firm based in San Francisco which is much larger than her own. Lauren's leadership is also internal, in that she has maintained a full work force throughout the Covid 19 pandemic, even though her teams were not able to travel to work sites for a number of weeks.

Our world will keep on building and developing and we need good leaders to keep us moving in a safe and meaningful way - Lauren is one of those leaders. I look forward to seeing her leadership added to more boards in the future - we will all benefit from her."
