More than 700 Women in Nuclear (WIN) attended this year’s 21st annual Conference held in Niagara Falls. WIN is a world-wide association of women working professionally in various fields of the nuclear industry.
As part of the Conference, several members of WIN toured Bruce Power and, also at the Conference, Senior Program Manager at Bruce Power, Aiman Khan was appointed incoming President for WIN.
On her LinkedIn post, Kahn said, “In my acceptance speech, I highlighted the unique moment we find ourselves in. As nuclear energy experiences a global renaissance, we have a pivotal opportunity to address climate change while advancing gender parity, inclusion, and equity across our sector. There’s no better place than Canada to lead this charge.”
Kahn added, “As I step into this role as a women of colour, together we’re not just smashing glass ceilings – we’re building a whole new skyline where diversity, equity, and inclusion lead the way. In this nuclear renaissance, we’re making history on two fronts: tackling climate change and setting new standards that show the world what true representation and inclusion look like.”
An innovative Senior Energy Leader at Bruce Power, Kahn “… steers major projects and pioneers new strategies within the Major Component Refurbishment Division. Known for excelling in high-pressure situations, she manages everything from routine maintenance outages to complex refurbishments. Her role emphasizes the development of cutting-edge approaches and building teams that challenge the status quo.”
Always aiming to keep pace with the ever-evolving industry landscape, Kahn is currently enhancing her expertise with an Executive MBA at MIT Sloan School of Management.
Prior to being appointed as President, Kahn as Vice President of WIN-Canada, “… championed the inclusion of women and marginalized communities in the clean energy sector. Beyond professional pursuits, I’m deeply engaged in community outreach with underrepresented youth and have a passion for cultural travel, eagerly ticking off experiences from my ultimate bucket list.”
