Head of Liquidity and Interest Rate Risk, Americas
BNP Paribas
In 2007, Majdouline Melhaoui was finishing a master's degree in finance in France when the subprime mortgage crisis hit. "It was getting a lot of attention, especially in response to its impact on the economy, so I was really interested to understand more about the interconnectivity, between banks and the financial market and the economy in general," she said.
Melhaoui was required to take a 12-month internship in order to finish her master's and ended up interning in the liquidity department at a French bank. She fell in love with liquidity, and when she graduated, she went to work for BNP Paribas as a liquidity analyst.
