Ali Ahmadi

Ali's journey from a refugee to a leader in the utility sector embodies resilience and determination. After arriving in Australia in 2008 following a perilous migration, Ali became the first in his family to graduate from university. He quickly rose to manage the largest wastewater systems for a council within three years. Recognized as a young utility leader and listed in 'Forty Under Forty,' Ali now inspires school students with his keynote, "Pillars of Resilience," sharing lessons from his life. Ali has been called the best speaker ever by the students who have heard him speak.
