Join us for an inspiring conversation as our host, Kimberley Furness from OAK Magazine, sits down with Amy Morrissey, a remarkable young professional who has made significant career progress in the traditionally male-dominated banking industry.
In this episode, sponsored by McKern Steel, Amy shares her journey from studying accounting at Latrobe University to becoming a Senior Business Relationship Manager at Bendigo Bank before the age of 30. Starting as an associate, she worked her way up from a small business banking manager to handling a portfolio of medium to large-scale businesses, catering to their diverse financial needs.
Amy discusses the current challenges businesses face, such as rising interest rates and staff retention issues, and how she supports her clients by providing tailored solutions. She also reflects on her personal experiences, including overcoming self-doubt and imposter syndrome as a young female in the industry.
Highlighting her participation in women in leadership programs, Amy emphasises the importance of taking risks, asking questions, and seeking mentorship to advance one’s career. She also delves into the significance of personal branding and maintaining strong values and ethics in professional but also personal life.
Amy offers valuable advice that will inspire professionals and emerging leaders alike. As she embarks on a new role as a Partner Relationship Manager in the digital lending space within the Bendigo Bank, we wish her continued success.
Tune in to hear Amy’s insightful story and gain practical advice for your own career journey.
