With rapid advancements in clean energy and power systems, more women are stepping into high impact leadership roles. Among them is Aimee Intac-Leung, who exemplifies the intersection of technical excellence, global perspective, and purpose-driven leadership. With a career spanning borders and disciplines, her career blends corporate leadership and industry advocacy, cultivating lasting partnerships and inspiring the people who power our energy future.
She began her career at Intel and Parker Hannifin, gaining early insight to innovation and integration of complex systems. She then spent more than 15 years at Manitoba Hydro, where she held pivotal roles on design, testing, construction, operations and delivery of hydro generation and transmission gigawatt projects for the reliability of the province’s High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems.
Now, as Director of Transmission Project Management at Invenergy, a global clean energy leader, Aimee leads large scale energy infrastructure projects with a focus on long-term sustainability, resilience and innovation. Her work consistently bridges boundaries, expanding expertise, connecting people, and fostering collaboration across sectors and cultures.
Beyond project delivery, Aimee has been a steadfast advocate for women and underrepresented communities in energy. She serves as Chair of Women in Energy CIGRE Canada, Vice Chair for International Partnerships of the U.S. National Committee of CIGRE and is an active member of IEEE. Through mentorship, scholarships, and inclusive initiatives, she helps bring people together and thrive not only in their education and careers but also their confidence and sense of belonging.
In 2025, Aimee was awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal by the Lieutenant Governor and Premier of Manitoba, recognizing her leadership in the energy sector and her efforts in creating meaningful pathways for women in STEM.
Her visibility on conference stages and in boardrooms sends a clear and powerful message: women also belong at the center of power system transformation. Through her leadership, mentorship, and unwavering belief in the potential of others, Aimee continues to inspire the next generation of leaders and help shape a world where rising talents, regardless of background feel seen, supported, and empowered to lead.
Her story is a reminder that true progress in power systems isn’t driven by technology alone but by the people who make that technology matter. This article was originally published in the August/September 2025 issue of the Power Systems Technology magazine, which you can access  here.
