Natasha Zulkifli, Chair of BMCC’s DEI Network, Director of YTL Construction, and Founder of Women in Rail Malaysia, spoke about her companies’ dedication to equal gender representation in leadership roles. She also shared the career break she took to care for her family and spoke about the opportunity that reignited her career.
