"Today's technology careers offer unprecedented opportunities for innovation and impact and we want to inspire more women to consider a career in technology or other STEM related fields.

“Vogue Codes is an opportunity to showcase what it’s like working at the cutting edge of innovation, told through the stories of women leading the way in technology.”

The Vogue Codes partnership amplifies CommBank's mission to increase women’s participation in STEM related fields.

In the lead up to the Vogue Codes Summit in Sydney on Saturday 14 June, women in technology at CommBank share the rewarding aspects of pursuing a career in tech.

Beibei Guo, Distinguished Engineer

“I originally studied Chemical Engineering but switched to IT Engineering. There is a purity to the discipline where there is always a puzzle at its core. This continues to inspire and motivate me to get up in the morning and jump right into it. There is fulfilment in solving that puzzle with your colleagues like how to make it, how to make it hold and how to make it grow. As a Distinguished Engineer, I look forward to continuing to help engineers in different stages of their careers, as well as pushing ideas, being challenged, and possibly proved wrong.” 

Elle Griffin, Chief of Staff

“I get to be part of a team driving leading digital experiences and technology for our customers, as well as ensuring the resilience of the bank against evolving cyber threats and fraud risk. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities, making my role dynamic and exhilarating. We’re making a real difference with an incredible team, and I’m proud to be part of a community of women in STEM.”

Jen French, AI Acceleration Lead

“What excites me most about the future of technology at CommBank is our potential to innovate and transform customer experiences through advanced technologies like Generative and Agentic AI. At CommBank, we have implemented machine learning into our fraud detection processes, ensuring heightened security for our customers. Additionally, we are leveraging AI to personalise customer experiences, tailoring our services to meet customer needs more effectively.

By bringing diverse perspectives and unique problem-solving skills, women can drive innovation and ensure that our technological advancements are inclusive and equitable. Initiatives like Vogue Codes and Women in Technology events are empowering the next generation of tech leaders, fostering a strong network of support and collaboration. With women at the forefront, we are well-positioned to lead the industry and make a lasting impact on our customers and communities.”
