180DC Helsinki is glad to bring back the Slickdeck podcast. For the first episode of season 2, we feature My Nguyen, who used to work as the Helsinki branch president during the 2020-2021 tenure and is going to be a consultant next spring. We invited My over to share the inspirational journey in order to motivate young talents to pursue a career in the consulting industry.

For the final episode of the season, we interviewed one of our clients, SaferGlobe. Executive director Maria Mekri tells us about the organization and their work in peace and security.
