Divya Ranchhod

Asset Engineer -Babcock

I’m Divya, an Asset Engineer at Babcock NZ and a Mechanical Engineering graduate from AUT. My role involves creating material state baselines for ship systems, for our customer, the Royal New Zealand Navy. I chose to pursue a career in STEM as I wanted to have a career that would challenge me and allow me to be creative.  As an AUT alumnus, this is a chance for me chance to give back and inspire students to pursue a career in STEM.

ANN LAU

GENERATION PLATFORM MANAGER – Mercury

My name is Ann Lau. I am the Generation Platform Manager of Mercury. My role is to look after all the generation related applications and systems. My team’s focus is to enable the generation business to deliver their business outcomes through the use of technology. I have been in IT for 16 years across multiple industries, such as local government, telco, dairy, and now utility. I started my career in IT through the graduate program in one of the IT consulting firm after finishing a BSc in Waikato University.

I enjoy my job as I get to lead teams of talented individuals where we come together and work in a high performance environment to do the best work we can and deliver value to our stakeholders and customers. I am passionate about ‘passing the ladder down’, helping young people, especially women, to establish a IT career by providing guidance and advice. Outside work, my 2 beautiful children, age 10 and 8, keep me very busy. I enjoy mountain biking, baking, and a wine or two.
