Today I'm joined by Yasar Ahmad the Global Vice President of Talent at HelloFresh. Previously, Global Head of Talent Acquisition at Zalando focussed on Technology Hiring and prior to that the Director and Head of Strategic Hiring at Wipro and Wipro Digital.

• What does Yasar do?
• Who is Yasar? Not taking life too seriously and we know nothing!
• How he wants to be seen, not by his title...
• Why Neurodiversity matters
• His OCD and Dyslexia
• Shame and the challenge for global neurodiverse talent
• The left and right sides of the brain in the workplace - The six thinking hats
