In this inspiring episode (#8), we sit down with Enni Pidan, Director of Talent Acquisition at McCain, and as she describes herself, “a citizen of the world.” From Nigeria to Norway and ultimately to the Netherlands, we explore how her cross-cultural experiences have shaped her identity, challenged her perceptions, and helped her evolve both personally and professionally.

During the conversation, she talks about traditions and ways of living in Africa, the importance of education, and one of her core values, instilled by her mother from a young age, “kindness is its own reward.” Enni also opens up about her transition from government roles to leading recruitment and talent acquisition teams across Europe. She reflects on the nuances of faith, the evolution of her spirituality beyond rigid ideologies, and the strength that comes from balancing confidence with humility.

Lastly, tune in to hear her belief in the power of networking and mentorship, including the pivotal relationships that opened unexpected doors - both in her career and personal life (including a remarkable love story that began with a random text message). This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating change, career transitions, or multicultural environments.

Stay Keen,
