DESCRIPTION
Dyan presented a very thought-provoking “Listening, Learning, Leading” session at the APM 2014 National Conference for Women in Project Management. Dyan Foss, Global Managing Director Nuclear Sector at CH2M Hill, has a background of more than 23 years of program management experience in nuclear and hazardous waste cleanup across the USA and UK (Dounreay), which is something most of us would definitely not normally get to hear about.
