Today I am interviewing Iva Georgijew, Chair of the Board of Directors of Deloitte CE, a region comprising 19 countries (including Ukraine).

Iva embodies diversity, as she was born to a Polish/Bulgarian family and experienced two different cultures growing up. She always sought to discover her life's purpose and the path she wanted to follow. Her important choices, such as the one to go to a boarding school or to move to Poland to study, reflect her attitude that has made her one of the most successful individuals I have talked to.

She has adopted the principle of IKIGAI, which in Japanese means "a reason for living; a motivating force", to guide both her personal and professional growth. She believes that having a passion and pursuing it at work to the benefit of both ourselves and the greater good is essential for everyone to feel satisfied and accomplished.

My today's guest, Tomasz Buczek, is OTC for Europe Commercial Head and General Manager at Viatris, a pharma sector company.

To him, teamwork is like sailing a boat: either everyone works for the same purpose knowing very well what to do, how and with whom, or the boat will stand still, turn upside down or sink. The knowledge comes from his own experience as a young man participating in team sports, such as sailing or basketball. In his opinion, such experience is as valuable as practical one gained at work, and young people who take their first professional steps, as well as their prospective employers, can consider it an asset.
