EMEA Recruitment Podcast

The EMEA Recruitment podcast was pleased to welcome Bart Cornelissen for our latest episode. Bart is currently the Executive Director Corporate Finance at Seattle Genetics in the USA, but previously lived in Switzerland.

"In the end, you're only as good as the group of people you work with."

This Finance podcast episode is a fascinating listen for anyone thinking of making a bold move in their life.

Bart spoke to our Founder, Paul Toms, about how the need to have purpose and impact in his career lead him into the life science space. He was even lucky enough to be given the opportunity to work with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, after he reached out to a recruiter on LinkedIn.

But it's working with a great team that motivates Bart the most. He explains how he builds a culture of high-performing teams in the companies he's worked with, as well as the skills and attributes needed to be a Finance leader as the role evolves.

Bart and Paul also explore how Business Intelligence and Data are driving the Finance function today, as well as how you achieve a work-life balance in the changing world.

Having presented to Bill Gates himself, it's no surprise that Bart names him as his biggest influence – although he was nervous! Listen to the episode below to find out how Bill put him on the spot.

In this episode of the EMEA Recruitment podcast, we were joined by our very own Swiss Director, Brad Daniel, who is also a Partner at business consulting and auditing firm Lancaster Consulting.

"I've always been a person unafraid of failure and – usually – when I've taken risks, that's been a career high point for me."

From his home office in Switzerland, Brad spoke to our Founder, Paul Toms, about his move from years of quarter-end accounting to auditing oil and gas businesses.

His previous roles as a Chartered Accountant opened doors to different things for Brad, but the "sheer diversity of activities" in the oil and gas sector was what interested him most. He speaks of the need to attract top talent into the industry for the next 40-50 years or more, as the world will continue to rely on types of fossil fuel.

But the future of the oil and gas industry is something that Brad is conscious of. In fact, he tells Paul how Lancaster Consulting has begun offering sustainability audits to its clients and that it's not too late to join the sector in a positive way.

Brad has strong values and beliefs that he brings to his role in business auditing. He believes that creating a constructive environment is key, which can also lead to client recommendations – what he describes as the "holy grail".

He's inspired by two particular famous leaders who - despite being at the opposite ends of the political spectrum - were "always guided by their ideology and principals". If he hosted his own podcast, the same two individuals would be his dream guests – listen to the episode to find out who they are.

We are delighted to welcome ABB's Heidi Robertson to the EMEA Recruitment podcast, to speak about her experiences of living around the world and how she brings her holistic attitude to life into the office.

"Life is too short not to try to influence, in a positive way, your surrounding and your people."

Heidi has not only lived and worked in many different countries, but she also speaks four languages and has been with ABB for 19 years now, making her an interesting business podcast guest for listeners around the globe.

She is now the Group Head of Diversity & Inclusion and Employer Brand at ABB in Switzerland, but lives in her homeland of Norway.

Having lived and worked throughout Europe and the USA, Heidi gained valuable experiences in people, culture and politics in early adulthood, which has given her a "go for it" mentality.

As a working mum of three, Heidi names her grandmother as her number one mentor; someone who is not only family-oriented, but has also taught her to stand up for what's right and treat people equally.

It's something she brings to her role at ABB. Heidi believes that every employee is responsible for contributing to the D&I agenda, but that line managers and leaders have a responsibility to foster a more diverse workforce and inclusive culture. She's hoping that D&I will become the DNA of the people, company and culture at ABB – and, ultimately, other businesses worldwide.

So, how does such a hard-working professional relax at the weekends? She discusses this and so much more with our Founder, Paul Toms.

In the latest podcast from EMEA Recruitment, we spoke to international fundraiser and keynote speaker Charles Hammerton about his struggles with mental health.

"Someone needs to stand up and say, something's not right here – we need to talk about it."

This podcast episode not only addresses the difficulties of mental health issues, but details how Charles has learnt from his past – and who helped him do it. It's a difficult topic for many people to discuss, but Charles explains the importance of having an open and honest conversation.

Although Charles had a "fantastic upbringing", his life went through what he describes as a "normal unravelling", before plummeting into difficult experiences in a short space of time. This led him to have suicidal thoughts, which no one in his life knew he was suffering.

That's where Bandit comes in. Bandit the ferret (now the namesake of his bushcraft business, Adventure Bandits) gave Charles a reason to hold on.

Charles decided to set off on his own adventure and, in his own words, "do me". This journey led him on a walk across the country, skateboarding across London, and driving to the Arctic Circle and across Europe. He'd even completed his bucketlist by the time he was 25!

Unfortunately, Bandit passed away upon Charles' return to the UK. Alongside Adventure Bandits, Charles has now formed a mix of different work commitments and hobbies, including keynote speaking.

We discuss why Charles tells his story, his influences and why he's made some enemies – he even tells us what he's terrified of feeling on his deathbed!

Here are some helpful time stamps for listening to Charles' story:

• Charles' background and upbringing, hitting the road in a camper van with a ferret 03:00
• The importance of talking about mental health 08:00
• How a ferret called Bandit helped Charles and inspired his company Adventure Bandits 11:00
• The value of talking, how to learn from experiences 14:00
• How Charles structures his public talks 16:20
• What Charles has learnt from his journey 23:00
• Support from the Prince's Trust 25:30
• Charles' inspirations 28:30
• Fears, achievements, work, ideas 38:30
• Swimming with Dolphins in the Falklands and making the most of opportunities 43:40
• How to connect with Charles 47:00

We hope you enjoy the podcast – remember to comment and share.
