In this episode you’ll hear Dr Marzia Bolpagni, Head of Building Information Modelling International at Mace. Marzia is passionate about Digital Transformation for the Built Environment and is dedicated to inspiring the next generation of professionals; helping young talent bridge the gap between academia and industry. Marzia grew up with one simple goal: to be happy. From her early love of both art and science, she found her way into architectural engineering — a path that combined creativity with the precision of math and physics. Along the way, she discovered that success doesn’t come from chasing a job title, but from cultivating curiosity, resilience, and a willingness to learn new skills.She shares her experiences of entering the male-dominated worlds of construction and digital innovation: from boardrooms where her presence was questioned to moments of unconscious bias, she reflects on the challenges of being underestimated.Marzia also offers heartfelt advice for young professionals: don’t wait for permission, ask for what you want, and surround yourself with people who lift you up. Confidence, curiosity, and courage, she insists, are the foundations not just for a career in digital construction, but for a fulfilling life. To learn more about STEMazing, and this week’s guest, head to https://www.stemazing.co.uk/podcast
