Melanie Cochrane on the importance of leading with yes and moving forward with courage

In conjunction with International Womens’ Day 2023, we bring you a Women in Leadership series, where we connect you with some of the most successful female leaders in the Asia Pacific, to uncover the tenacity of each woman leader, and how they pushed boundaries and rose to the top of their respective industries.

Our third guest from this series is Melanie Cochrane – Group Managing Director, Equifax Australia and New Zealand. An experienced leader with a stellar career that spans over three decades, Melanie speaks passionately about leading with Yes (which ultimately helped leapfrog her career) and the importance of moving forward with courage. 

Additionally, Melanie highlights the importance for organizations to take a gamble on placing women in leadership roles and why cultivating open, transparent and authentic relationships with team members often brings out the best in individuals. 

Melanie also spoke about:

• How Equifax is promoting greater financial inclusion through its solutions
• Equifax’s actions to consistently improve DEI
• Barriers to womens’ rise to leadership positions
• What organizations can do to create an ecosystem that encourages female leadership
• Tangible ways in which businesses can attract and retain women talent whilst encouraging diversity among their workforces
