  • From consulting to industry

  • Crossing from private sector to public sector

The podcast will take the format of:

  • Interviews with successful mid-career professionals and entrepreneurs

  • Case studies of career transitions

  • Practical showcases of day-to-day operational challenges and how to solve them

  • Role deep dives - How to prepare for a CEO role

  • Q&A sessions with audience participation
