Lavinnia Chelliah

I currently lead Macquarie Group’s Digital division across EMEA and Americas, based in London. Digital is an advisory function specialising in design, architecture, agile and AI.

I manage a multi-disciplinary team of ten across New York and London, to deliver a large portfolio of programs. I have 10 years experience in digital transformation. I graduated from the University of New South Wales in Commerce and Liberal Studies with a triple major in Finance, Economics and International Relations. I started my career in financial services consulting for Accenture, working across digital strategy, operating model design, process optimisation and post-acquisition migrations. I achieved an accelerated promotion from analyst to consultant for my strong contribution across a post merger integration with a large Australian retail bank. I started with Macquarie Group in 2019 as a Manager, being promoted to Senior Manager in 2021. While in Sydney I managed Macquarie’s Business Design team of eight and worked across process optimisation projects for the enterprise. I moved to London in 2023 to establish our Digital division in EMEA and Americas. In the last 2 years, I have created meaningful relationships with senior leaders (internally and externally) to grow our team to 10 based on a portfolio of $3.5M. I am also dedicated to our internal DEI community through my involvement in the Women in Technology employee network group, where I drive initiatives to attract, retain and develop women in STEM.
