Job shadow a senior executive in Asia
In 2011, Australian business success story Robyn Denholm, Chief
Financial Officer of Juniper Networks, a leading high performance
networking company headquartered in the heart of Silicon Valley
mentored the Student Challenge winners in an once-in-a-lifetime,
career-launching opportunity. The winners were flown to San
Francisco, where they spent a week shadowing Ms Denholm, a Fellow
Chartered Accountant.
In 2012, you too have the opportunity to job shadow a senior
executive in Asia, meeting, presenting to and networking with top
business executives. The Overall Student Challenge winner(s)
will receive a letter of recognition from the judging
panel, media publicity, an Apple© iPad® and the opportunity to job
shadow Mark Shanahan who is the CFO for Macquarie Group's
Asian operations.
Mark is based in Macquarie's Singapore office and regularly
travels between various offices across the region. He has been with
Macquarie for nearly 10 years and holds both Australian and South
African Chartered Accountant qualifications. The successful
students will have the opportunity to accompany Mark to meetings
with some of Macquarie's senior business leaders as well as other
Chartered Accountants in the region.
