In this episode of Unplug With Us, we sit down with Nina Schein, Global Talent Acquisition Manager at Booking.com, for a conversation that moves between personal roots and professional reality.

Nina grew up in New Jersey in a warm, progressive, theatre-influenced family. That environment shaped her curiosity about people and inclusivity, which later led her to study psychology and sociology, and still influences how she shows up as a leader today.

We talk about her relationship with work and rest: from learning how to “do nothing” without guilt, to small everyday ways of unplugging during busy workdays. Nina also reflects on her path through agency life, freelancing across different industries, and eventually stepping into long-term leadership at Booking.com.

In the second half, we zoom in on what it really takes to lead in fast-moving tech environments - the balance between planning and instinct, making decisions at scale, and navigating the realities of hybrid work and constant change.

Press play for real stories on leadership, people, and navigating change in today’s tech world.

Stay Keen,
