At UPco, we’re fortunate to work with a host of talented people, many of whom happen to be women. In honour of International Women’s Day (IWD) happening on 8th March 2023, we wanted to celebrate some of these brilliant individuals. One of IWD’s missions is to elevate and advance gender parity in technology, and celebrate the women forging innovation. So, we sat down to chat to someone who is doing just that: Leonie Dixon, the General Manager of Ark Resources, a leading Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) consultancy.

At UPco, we’re fortunate to work with some of Melbourne’s leading figures in placemaking, including developers, architects and specialist consultants. In our latest blog series #friendsofupco, we’re sharing some of their stories – starting with founder and Executive Chairman of DealCorp, David Kobritz.
