On this week's podcast, I speak with former Royal Australian Navy veteran Jennifer Wittwer CSM.

Jennifer Wittwer joined the Royal Australian Navy in 1981 as a supply officer. She went on to have an international career as a thought leader, humanitarian, and advocate for women's rights, equality, and empowerment. Some of her roles in uniform have included being the first ADF Gender Advisor to NATO Operations in Afghanistan, and a secondment to UN Women in New York. She is also the Author of Against the Wind How women can be their authentic selves in male-dominated professions. We spoke about being a female in the Navy during the '80s and '90s and the changes that Jen saw over her 40-plus years of service.
