Diane Nguyen – Technology

“I started out on the Graduate Programme in a technology role. I now support our Commodities and Global Markets division, specifically the FX and Futures business. My role involves investigating issues through to technical solution and delivery.

What surprised me most about working at Macquarie is that over the course of my career I have had exposure to different areas of the organisation and been given the opportunity and support to really drive my own career.”
