We are excited to welcome Melissa Di Marco PhD., MSc, Associée / Partner at Accuracy, as the newest member of the IPFA Canada Council. 🎤 IPFA’s North America Operations Manager, Jessica Jenkins recently caught up with Melissa to get to know her better: IPFA - What do you hope to bring to the Canadian Council? Melissa - I bring a unique combination of practical experience across major capital programs and a strategic, forward-looking mindset. I’m a connector—between legal, financial, and technical disciplines; between generations of professionals; and between traditional infrastructure models and the innovation we need to meet today’s challenges. I hope to contribute by helping the Council shape conversations on project delivery models, financing approaches, and talent development—and by championing more inclusive and purpose-driven leadership across the sector.
