S9 E4: Nothing Wrong With Taking Risks, Not Knowing Everything with Hans Montenegro
Now the managing director of Accenture, former actor Hans Montenegro shares his experiences navigating the corporate world.
Even with failure in the background, former actor turned human resources director Hans Montenegro believes that there is nothing wrong with leaving one’s comfort zone as doing so can even open up more career opportunities.
In an interview on “Breakthrough with Boris Joaquin” livestreamed on the Facebook pages of The Philippine STAR and CareerGuide on Thursday, May 4, Montenegro said that after all, people have full control of their career despite having a manager they report to and who would guide them.
In Montenegro’s case, his career was early on marked by several two-year stints mostly as a human resources executive. The first time he stayed for much long, based on his LinkedIn profile, was at Manulife where he worked for about seven years.
On this podcast, he explained this began in 2004, when a senior employee in a previous job told him that their human resources department should be more in tune with company business. Montenegro took this as a challenge, going out of his comfort zone, proceeding to learn more about the company’s business model at the time. Later on, he noted that this came from an innate desire for growth, aside from him being inspired to leave his comfort zone.
