We are honoured to welcome Shamsa Lea to the mic: an award-winning leader, senior Air Force veteran, and passionate advocate for gender equity.

From deployments in Afghanistan, PNG, and the Middle East to executive roles across Defence, Deloitte, and now Anglicare WA, Shamsa’s journey is nothing short of inspiring.

As co-founder of Propel Her Australia – the Defence Women’s Leadership Series and a sought-after keynote speaker, Shamsa shares powerful reflections on transitioning from service, leading with purpose, and redefining identity beyond the uniform.
