Roma The Engineer
I'm Roma Agrawal MBE, structural engineer, author and broadcaster.
After working on The Shard for six years, I wrote five books about engineering, which are for adults and children interested in how the world around them works. I've presented documentaries, radio programmes, TEDx talks, performed stand-up comedy, and write a monthly newsletter on how things are created.
My talks draw on my experience in designing long-lasting structures to explain how companies can be resilient through turbulent times, and my time as a woman in a male-dominated profession.
