Speaker Spotlight – Women of the Pilbara Forum 2025
Join us at the Women of the Pilbara Forum to hear from Katie Charuga-Andrijasevic, Director of Integrated Operations at Fortescue.
We asked Katie a few questions ahead of the Forum:
“I’ve been proud to work in the Pilbara for almost 20 years. The Pilbara isn’t just where I work, it’s where I’ve grown as a leader, built strong connections, and balanced my career with raising a young family. It’s a region that has shaped me both personally and professionally.”
“My passion comes from its people and communities. Working here has been a unique and fulfilling journey. The innovation, resilience, and opportunity are what make this region so rewarding to work and live in.”
“I’m excited because it’s a great platform to showcase the contribution of women driving change across industries. This forum is about learning from each other, building connections, and shaping the future of business and leadership in the Pilbara. I’m honoured to share my story alongside inspiring women strengthening our communities.”
