About our panel of Speakers:
Margaret Hilliard, Project Manager, Submarines Group, Department of Defence
Margaret Hilliard has been a Project Manager with the Collins Submarines Program for the past seven years, working on projects which include upgrading the submarine Simulator.
Prior to working with Defence she has also worked in printing, publishing, recruitment and IT, in Australia, Ireland and the US. A short stint in prison (teaching and not as a resident) offered an interesting opportunity to learn and push boundaries.
From early on in Margaret’s career she was working in environments that presented very little diversity and were traditionally male dominated professions. Margaret has a Graduate Certificate in Project Management from UniSA as well as PMP, AIPM CPPM and PRINCE2 Practitioner accreditations.
Margaret will bring an LGBTQI perspective to the panel discussion.
