This research will help inform the wider group on good practice in this area.

INTRODUCING OUR HORIZONS PROGRAM 4.0 PARTICIPANTS
This week we kicked off our fourth Horizons Program with a record number of participants attending the very first virtual forum. Over the coming weeks, we'll introduce you to all of them, but for this week we're delighted to introduce Henry, Dannielle, Izy and Benson.
Henry Huynh | Aurecon
Hi, I’m Henry Huynh, a Senior Engineer at Aurecon in Perth.
My career has spanned 10 years in consultancy, mainly in passenger rail. Other experiences include heavy haul, rail safety, rollingstock, drainage, civil, highways, bridges and cycling infrastructure in WA and UK. Looking forward to meeting new connections and to grow opportunities with the H4.0 Program. It’s enjoyable to see people trying to pronounce my surname “Wu-inn”, Vietnamese equivalent of Wong. I enjoy playing basketball, fishing and keeping my toddler entertained.
Dannielle Walz | Training AheadHi, my name is Dannielle Walz and I work as a Compliance Director for a Victorian based rail training provider. My day to day involves working with our teams to ensure compliance is met for our regulatory bodies, AROs and clients. I am passionate about education and assisting to train the next generation of individuals creating a career in rail.
Izy Perona | Metro Trains MelbourneMy name is Izy Perona and I am the Senior Overhead Wiring Engineer at Metro Trains Melbourne (MTM). I graduated from RMIT university in 2011. In my final year, I worked at MTM as a Vacational Student in the overhead wiring section. They say “once you are in the overhead section, you can never get out”. Well that couldn’t be more true as I have worked in the overhead wiring section ever since. In my current role, I look at type approvals, technical investigations,
standards development, specification development and mentoring Junior Overhead Wiring Engineers. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and learning from other professionals from outside of the rail environment.
Benson Wong | JHGHello, my name is Benson Wong and I am currently working as an Electrical Engineer for John Holland building a substation to upgrade the Sydney Airport Train line. I have previously worked on commissioning and operations of the Metro North West Line, Australia’s first driverless train network. Excitedly looking forward to meeting other members of our diverse rail industry especially from other states across Australia. Outside of work my hobbies include building Remote Control cars and
football.
