Inclusive Entrepreneurship in the Mining Industry:
The Ups, the Downs and Everything in Between
With more than 20 years of experience in the mining industry, Alicia understands what it means to push boundaries. She’s a strong advocate in encouraging more young women to consider a career in the industry. Part of this means creating an environment that acknowledges, accommodates and celebrates gender-specific differences. Alicia challenges companies to be a part of the change by working toward increasing diversity and creating inclusive work environments. Alicia is the recipient of the YWCA Women of Distinction Award, 40 Under 40, was named to the class of 2017 Young Global Leaders by the World Economic Forum and most recently was recognized as one of the Top 100 Global Inspirational Women in Mining.
