Marina Robertson is the group managing director of Acivico, the Birmingham-based multi-disciplinary firm offering built environment advisory services from design and construction to building control and facilities management.

Born and raised in Athens, Greece, Marina made the crucial decision to study in the UK – which opened the door to working on some key projects such as the redevelopment of Wembley Stadium.

Marina talks to Henrietta Brealey about why her dedication to learning has been important along the way and how she has addressed the challenge of finding her voice as a business leader.

She also discusses some of the exciting projects Acivico have worked on in the Birmingham city-region.

Key topics:

· Early life growing up in Athens

· The Wembley Stadium project

· Moving to Acivico

· Public speaking and finding her voice

· Succeeding in a male dominated industry

· First impressions of Birmingham

· Her passion for learning
