Good morning and happy Monday! This week we are excited to be joined by Louise Haslehurst, Investment Director at Quadrant Private Equity. Louise has had an impressive career in finance, and joins us today to shed light on Private Equity as a career option and on her experiences in the finance industry.

Louise speaks about her career, including her move from Investment Banking to Private Equity and the highlights and challenges she has faced thus far working across various stages of the transaction lifecycle.

Louise provides insight into what roles in Investment Banking and Private Equity entail, and offers tips to how a student can best position themselves to break into the industry.

We discuss the negative stigma surrounding the finance industry and debunk the notion that firms make their money at the detriment of society. Finally Louise touches on the finance industry in Australia, including changes she has observed and trends emerging.
