Title: ITG Senior Associate, Information Technology Group
Joined: 2004

I joined Macquarie in 2004 as a Senior Associate in the Information Technology Group, following the acquisition of the ING Cash Equities business in the same year. I had previously worked in various roles at ING and HSBC, mainly supporting demanding trading environments.

The effort and team-work that was put in to ensuring that all offices were functional during the ING separation project was astounding. That this was achieved within the required six-month timeframe was even more impressive.

In my current role, I ensure that the business units within Asia are provided with the necessary IT services to enable their business to continue to flourish.

Title: Manager, Macquarie Capital Advisers and Macquarie Capital Products, Macquarie Capital
Joined: 2001

Since I joined Macquarie in 2001, my role has grown and expanded considerably. Macquarie is a very open place to work and people are not limited in what they can do. I’ve had the opportunity to work on a variety of deals and in several countries.

I started as a business analyst in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, working mainly on infrastructure. I also spent some time in the Japan office on principal acquisitions in infrastructure, and am now based in Hong Kong, where I am involved in Macquarie’s first investment in Taiwan, an acquisition of the third largest cable television company in the area.

I was attracted to Macquarie because of its specialised knowledge in the field of advisory services, particularly infrastructure, where the depth and breadth of Macquarie’s advisory, acquisition and funds expertise speak for themselves.

Before Macquarie, my background was in risk management advisory with Bankers Trust. I studied a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Physics at Imperial College, London before completing a Masters Science in Investment Management at Cass Business School, London. I am also a CFA chart holder.

My advice for success is simple: be prepared to work hard, ask questions and put up your hand for new opportunities, and you’ll go far at Macquarie.

Title: Associate Director, Macquarie Capital - Macquarie Capital Advisers
Joined: 2004

I joined Macquarie in 2004 in Macquarie Capital, as an Associate Director in the utilities team of Macquarie Capital Advisers, Korea. Within one year, I was able to establish a sustainable new business base in Korea by successfully leading the establishment of a domestic private equity fund.

I learned that to succeed at Macquarie, don’t wait until you are being asked to do something: instead, make your own initiatives to create and develop new opportunities, and ask Macquarie for support.

Title: Senior Sales Trader, Macquarie Capital Securities, Macquarie Capital
Joined: 2004

I joined Macquarie in 2004 after working at ING as a sales trader in Singapore and Hong Kong. I was part of the Asia equity sales trading team that came across from ING in 2004, and I have continued in that capacity at Macquarie. I focus on selling Asia ex-Japan equity products to institutional clients in the US and Asia.

I completed a Bachelor of Science in pre-law with a minor in psychology at the University of South Carolina, US.

I’ve learned that at Macquarie, you need to have a sense of humour and truly believe in teamwork. I wouldn’t be where I am today if I had to do it alone.

Yuen Hoi Yin

Title: Executive, Equity Markets Group
Joined: 2005

I joined Macquarie at the end of 2005, moving from a credit analyst role at JP Morgan Private Banking.  I previously studied a bachelor of finance at the University of Hong Kong, and a Bachelor of Laws at the University of London.

Today, I work in the Equity Markets Group and am responsible for pricing and selling equity derivatives products. I’m based in Hong Kong and my key clients are private banks in the Asia-Pacific region. Client relationships are vital to our business line: a client’s appreciation for your hard work is as important as your boss’ appreciation!

I’ve learned that at Macquarie, teamwork is the key to success. It’s like playing soccer: if you want to win, you have to be an excellent team player.
