Today’s guest has spent her entire career dealing with leaders before becoming one herself. She joined Europe’s largest Executive Search firm straight from university, fell in love with the industry and never left. After 20 years at Egon Zehnder, where she ran the Research teams in London and India, she founded her own firm and now focuses on identifying diverse international talent. Shilpi shares her experiences living across the globe as well as her thoughts on leadership and recruiting leaders for sectors as diverse as financial services and health sciences.
Every country has its version of comfort food. In India it’s khichri. Its basic form is used to wean children as their first solid food and it is part of the narrative of every family. As they grow up it turns into comfort food which can form part of any meal, from breakfast to late night snack.
Shilpi gives us a detailed version of her recipe, before Valentine and I debate and argue in Part 2 not just about khichri but also various comfort foods in different cultures.
Bon Appétit!
