Felicity Furey

Engineer, Business Leader, Author, Speaker

Felicity Furey is an award-winning engineer, international speaker, author, media personality and one of Australia’s most influential voices on the future of engineering and leadership. A recognised industry innovator, Felicity has spent her career delivering major engineering projects, transforming culture in organisations and building movements that shift how people see engineering and what is possible within it.

Felicity co-founded Power of Engineering, a social enterprise that inspires girls and regional students to see engineering as an exciting and meaningful career path. She later co founded WeAspire, a leadership advisory and development company that has trained more than ten thousand emerging leaders across engineering, infrastructure and construction. She has spoken to more than thirty thousand people internationally and partnered with organisations including Qantas, Engineers Australia, Arup, Toyota, Energy Australia, Boeing, AECOM and BHP.

Her new book, The Future of Engineering, Legacy by Design, presents a groundbreaking framework that expands engineering beyond technical problem solving and into a regenerative discipline that centres humanity, purpose, ecological intelligence and long term legacy. Felicity’s work bridges data and empathy, logic and human behaviour, engineering and leadership, revealing how the most powerful innovations of the next century will come not from new tools, but from new ways of thinking.

A sought after global keynote speaker, Felicity is redefining engineering culture for the twenty first century and empowering organisations around the world to design systems that work for everyone.
