Lea Ea, CEO of Australian powerhouse ARROWES Roading Safety, is on a professional mission to save lives through improved road infrastructure and technology. At age 4, Lea's life was upended when the Khmer Rouge came to power in Cambodia. Years later, Lea, her mother, and her 9 siblings fled the brutal regime, landing first in a refugee camp in Thailand, then the haven of a small town in New Zealand, and then in Brisbane just after the GFC.
Lea overcame her family's trauma and suffering through community support, hard-work, and self-belief. With great determination, Lea built a portfolio working for leading global technology firms and education not-for-profits in Queensland and overseas.
Hear first hand about Lea's experience establishing ARROWES Roading Safety. It is proof of her innovative thinking: a breakthrough company that pioneers automated technology saving road workers from hazards.
Be inspired by Lea's riveting story of survival and how it has shaped her charity work in her homeland of Cambodia and her mission to save lives on roads around the world.
This conversation will be facilitated by Kat Feeney, presenter, ABC Brisbane.
Booking required. Ticket price $15 or free for students.
