Women in Safety Spotlight | Ashley Gill, CSP, DBA
In recognition of Women’s History Month and Women in Construction Week, we are proud to feature Dr. Ashley Gill, CSP, DBA, as part of our Women in Safety Spotlight series.
After witnessing a life-changing workplace injury early in her career, Dr. Gill discovered her purpose in environmental health and safety. Today, she serves as Safety Director at McGough, where she leads safety strategy across complex construction projects throughout the United States. Known for earning trust through presence, empathy, and technical credibility, Dr. Gill views safety not as a compliance obligation, but as a core value embedded in daily leadership and decision-making.
Her commitment to safety extends beyond the jobsite. Outside of work, she competes in roller derby as “Guillotine Grace” with the Dallas Derby Devils, where she also serves as vice chair, supporting training and risk management efforts. The parallels between sport and profession, including discipline, teamwork, resilience, and risk management, reflect her holistic approach to leadership.
