Her career traces a deliberate path from the operational front line in asset integrity\, maintenance reliability\, and engineering governance  through to strategic investment planning and capital project delivery\, giving her an end-to-end perspective across mining\, processing\, port\, and rail environments.\nSpanning both the technical and strategic dimensions of asset management\, her experience bridges governance\, operational performance\, and long-term investment planning. A Senior Practitioner in Asset Management and MBA graduate\, Natalia combines deep technical expertise with a strong track record of leading diverse teams and driving measurable outcomes in complex\, high-value operations. \n\n\n\nDaniela Rivas-Aybar\, PhD\nSustainability and Carbon Solutions Analyst\, Clear CarbonPresentation: Managing Sustainability like an Asset\nAbstract:Sustainability is often treated as a reporting requirement\, disconnected from how organisations create value. Drawing on her experience at Clear Carbon\, Daniela shares her perspective on how improving data integrity\, governance\, and alignment enables more confident\, value-driven decisions across asset-intensive industries. Through this lens\, she highlights how managing sustainability like an asset can strengthen leadership\, reduce risk\, and unlock long-term value. \nSpeaker bio:Daniela Rivas Aybar is a Sustainability and Carbon Solutions Analyst at Clear Carbon and holds a PhD from Curtin University. She works with asset-intensive organisations to improve the quality\, governance\, and alignment of carbon and operational data\, enabling more reliable reporting and better decision-making. \n\n\n\nDr Eunice Sari\nDirector and Co-Founder\, Customer Experience Insight and Western Australian AI HubPresentation: From Data to Decisions: How Humanity-Centred AI is Redefining Value Creation in Asset Management\nAbstract:\nAI is changing asset management\, but technology alone doesn’t create value. The organizations that achieve the best returns are the ones that put people\, governance\, and purpose at the heart of their AI strategies.\nDrawing from her leadership of the Western AI Hub and over 25 years of experience in human-centered AI\, digital transformation\, and responsible innovation\, Dr. Eunice Sari will explain how organisations in asset-intensive sectors\, such as critical minerals\, infrastructure\, government\, and defence\, can fully realize the potential of AI while ensuring human judgment\, fairness\, and accountability remain central.\nKey themes include:\n–  Why “human-centered AI” is essential for governance\, not just an afterthought\, and what ISO 55000 aligned leadership looks like in the era of agentic AI.\n– Real-world examples of AI-driven value creation in mining\, infrastructure\, and government\, where inclusive design principles resulted in more reliable\, auditable\, and trusted outcomes.\n– How women leaders are shaping more resilient\, ethical\, and high-performing AI systems\, and why diverse leadership gives a competitive edge in asset-intensive industries.\n– Practical steps for boards\, CxOs\, and asset managers to transition from AI pilots to consistent\, assured\, and sustainable AI adoption.\nThis presentation connects with the event’s three main goals: strengthening leadership skills\, promoting governance in line with ISO 55000\, and raising the visibility of women leaders in asset-intensive fields.  \nSpeaker bio:Dr Eunice Sari is a globally recognised pioneer in humanity-centred AI and responsible innovation\, with over 25 years of experience leading digital transformation across government\, industry\, and academia in Australia\, Southeast Asia\, the USA\, and Europe. As Co-Founder and Director of Customer Experience Insight Pty Ltd and Co-Founder of the Western AI Hub\, the Western Australia’s most active grassroots AI community\, she advises governments\, enterprises\, and startups on building AI that is accountable\, equitable\, and human-first. The first Asian female Google Mentor in Product Design and Strategy\, she has mentored 500+ startups through Google for Startups and global accelerators\, helping founders scale responsible AI products. Eunice holds adjunct academic appointments at UNSW\, Edith Cowan University\, Curtin University\, Charles Darwin University\, and the University of Indonesia\, where she teaches and researches AI\, Human-AI Collaboration\, and Responsible AI governance. Winner of the Belmont Migrant of the Year Award 2025 and CCIWA D&I Small Business Finalist\, she is also the Co-Founder of Marginpreneur\, championing diversity\, equity\, and inclusion across WA’s innovation and business ecosystem. Eunice’s life’s work is a single conviction: that the most powerful AI systems are the ones designed around people\, not the other way around. \n\n\n\nJacinta Barnett\nManager Operational Excellence\, Dampier Salt\, Rio TintoPresentation: Leadership skills for today’s dynamic workplace environments\nAbstract:In a workplace defined by constant change\, agile problem-solving has become a critical leadership capability. This presentation will explore the leadership skills required to unlock the full potential of teams\, identify hidden talent\, and enhance performance. A key focus will be the importance of recognising and developing capability across the workforce\, particularly among women\, who continue to be underrepresented in leadership roles. By embracing diverse perspectives and fostering inclusive leadership\, organisations are better equipped to navigate complexity\, respond to challenges\, and succeed in today’s dynamic work environment.  \nSpeaker bio:\nJacinta Barnett is an executive mining and industrial leader with more than 23 years of experience across operations\, maintenance\, asset renewal\, business improvement\, operational readiness and large-scale transformation in the resources sector. Her career spans mining\, rail\, ports\, chemical processing and facilities\, giving her a strong whole-of-value-chain perspective on asset management and operational performance. \nJacinta currently holds the role of Operational Excellence Manager for Dampier Salt Ltd at Rio Tinto and previously served as Acting General Manager\, where she helped lead the business through cyclone recovery while maintaining safety focus and production performance. Across her leadership roles\, she has been responsible for major operational and capital budgets\, business strategy\, contract negotiations\, licence-to-operate matters and the leadership of large multidisciplinary teams. \nHer experience in asset-intensive environments includes leading rail network renewals across track and civil assets\, overseeing large contractor workforces and budgets exceeding $500 million\, improving rerail productivity\, and strengthening safety performance across internal and partner teams. She has also led cultural and performance transformation in operations\, including measurable improvements in safety maturity\, people experience and productivity across maintenance and production teams. \nJacinta brings a practical and credible leadership voice to asset management\, grounded in real operating environments where reliability\, safety\, people capability and long-term business value must work together. With qualifications in Minerals Process Engineering\, Project Management\, Business Leadership and the AICD Company Directors Course\, she combines technical depth with executive\, strategic and governance capability. She is also a current Vice Chairperson of the Pilbara Kimberley University Centre.  \n\n\n\nShereya Parashar\nSenior Reliability Engineer\, Woodside EnergyPresentation: The Accidental Reliability Engineer: Turning Difference into Strength\nAbstract:What starts as an unexpected career turn can become a defining strength. Shereya reflects on her journey from mechanical engineering into reliability\, and how she learned to use difference as advantage rather than setback. She shares the lessons that helped her build credibility\, simplify decision-making with data\, and inspire others to lead from exactly where they are. \nSpeaker bio:\nShereya is a mechanical engineer by degree and a reliability engineer by pure chance. She entered the field of reliability engineering seven years ago\, and what began as an unexpected career path quickly grew into a genuine passion. Today\, she can’t imagine doing or being anything else.\nShe is deeply passionate about connecting people to data to enable informed\, confident decision‑making. Shereya has spent much of her career specialising in the development of digital tools and products that support maintenance strategy optimisation\, improve asset performance visibility and translate complex data into practical reliability insights.\nBeyond the workplace\, Shereya applies reliability principles in her day‑to‑day life as a mother\, using root cause analysis\, continuous improvement\, and data‑driven thinking to navigate the beautifully unpredictable realities of family life. Through both her work and her lived experience\, she brings a grounded\, human perspective to reliability\, leadership\, and asset management. \nClick here to register
