Supporting the next generation of female leaders
Sybil Dixon: I chose to go into investments through a somewhat roundabout loop. I didn't really know what I wanted to do out of high school. I did an undergraduate degree in hotel management, then I did a finance class through that degree and I really enjoyed it.
Sandra Lee: My day-to-day role typically involves meeting different people, getting new ideas of where we could make investments. If I get to combine my skills in finance and investments with research, conducting financial analysis, and negotiating and communicating with various stakeholders to ensure we get the outcomes we need.
Alex Connolly: To encourage girls to work in technology, I would say that technology isn't a small part of the business anymore. Technology really is every interaction we have across the whole of organisations, and also the way that we interact with our customers. So it really is exciting to think about all the possibilities.
Sandra Lee: I would encourage girls considering a career in investments and funds management to have a broad and open mind. We need diversity of ideas and different forms of contribution that can only come with more women joining this sector.
Sybil Dixon: I've been at UniSuper now for 10 years. I work in a field in investments called ESG, which is where we look at the environmental, social, and governance aspects of companies that we invest in. I get to read about things like climate change, human rights, ethical sourcing, the environment, governance, how people manage their businesses. It's a field where, if you like learning, you'll be learning every day.
Sandra Lee: What I see happening in the future of this industry is that innovation and change will continue to force our sector to evolve, creating new risks and challenges in many of our investments, and how we work.
Alex Connolly: If I had to give myself advice, it would be saying yes to every opportunity and really then reflecting on it and thinking what did I learn from that? What did I love about it? What didn't I like about it? And I think through just saying yes and having that reflection, you end up following a path that makes sense for you.
