Time moves quickly, both in a personal and professional setting, which often means we forget to reflect on our life journeys. Yet, reflection is where the most valuable lessons emerge. With this in mind, we decided to create a new podcast series, ‘In The Spotlight‘, designed to spotlight top leaders across industries. The goal? To reflect on their career paths and share actionable insights for those aspiring to build their own success. Whether you’re navigating HR careers or looking for career inspiration from other industries, this series has something for everyone.
The first episode of this new series features Amanda Rajkumar, an accomplished HR leader with an impressive background that includes roles at global giants like BNP Paribas and Adidas. Talking candidly with James Ballard, Managing Partner & Co-Founder at Annapurna, Amanda opened up on her story, both personally and professionally, that led to her becoming who she is today.
From her early days growing up in Northampton, UK, to her start in tech headhunting, Amanda’s career has been a series of bold moves. Her journey eventually took her abroad to New York and Germany, where she faced new challenges and embraced opportunities to grow. Amanda’s story is a testament to finding your passion and working hard to achieve success within it.
In this episode, Amanda shares how her upbringing shaped her drive to succeed, why she chose a career in HR after studying Psychology at University, and what her years of experience have taught her, offering valuable advice for anyone looking to forge a similar path.
Whether you’re in HR or simply looking for inspiration to tackle your own challenges, Amanda’s story will leave you feeling motivated and inspired.
