A fantastic talk with Kirsten Jeffery and Franziska Locher. Both are passionate and highly skilled creative leaders who inspired, managed and realised the success of the VU City Tower project
On the eve of the formal VU City Tower launch (31 May 2022), I had a fantastic talk with Kirsten Jeffery, Project Director, and Franziska Locher, Program Manager, for the tenth episode of the People of VU podcast.
As a former accountant and architect respectively, Kirsten and Franziska are passionate and highly-skilled individuals whose leadership was integral to the success of the VU City Tower – the largest vertical campus in Australia.
From construction to COVID; from design to daring-to-be-different: we get to hear directly from them about the highs and (rare) lows of a multi-million dollar, dual-sector construction project.
