What happens when an astrophysicist trades the cosmos for corporate leadership — and discovers the real science is in managing people? 🔬➡️👥 

In this episode of the HR Engage Podcast, host Jonathan Mamaril sits down with Jay Ramanah — physicist turned CEO, oil & gas superintendent, banking executive, and founder of MaxStaff.co — for a raw and unfiltered conversation about why HR needs a radical shake-up. 

Jay shares his unconventional career journey from research physics to the frontlines of people management across industries like banking (Barclays), oil & gas, education, and consulting. He breaks down the 3 biggest challenges facing HR right now — skills shortages, AI disruption, and evolving workplace legislation — and delivers bold advice that some HR professionals might find controversial.

The HR Engage Podcast is by HR people, for HR people. If you're in HR, people & culture, talent management, or business leadership — this episode is a must-listen.
