But that is exactly how her engineering career has unfolded.

Engineer 2: Omar El Senagawy, Senior Consultant - Engineering, Assets, and Project Delivery, KPMG
Omar will share the various roles he has undertaken as a Chemical and Environmental Engineer and how this has taken him to different parts of the world!
