WiBF & NAB: Women in Markets – Leading through Change
25 Aug 2025
What an inspiring afternoon at NAB Place Sydney for Women in Markets – Leading through Change, a joint event hosted by Women in Banking & Finance (WiBF) and NAB!

We were privileged to hear from four of NAB’s leaders in global financial markets including:
- Sally Auld GAICD, Executive Chief Economist
- Krista Baetens, Executive, Markets
- Sarah Samson, Executive, Capital Markets
- Melissa Saadat, Executive, Compliance CIB
Alongside moderator, Helen Mann, NAB’s impressive leadership panel shared reflections on resilience, adaptability, and championing diverse leadership in a rapidly changing era for financial markets.
The afternoon was also a fantastic opportunity to connect, share experiences, and strengthen networks, paving the way for future collaboration and mentorship across the sector.
A heartfelt thank you to our speakers and all attendees for making this such an energising and impactful conversation. Here’s to continuing the dialogue and supporting the next generation of leaders in finance.
