How do you keep employees engaged and motivated?
Communicate, listen and trust! This is what I expect from my management and I apply it to my own team’s management. Together, these three things can empower every member of the team to deliver and be content at the same time. Another value close to my heart that I try and live by is “compassionate management”. I feel that empathy has been widely adopted as a value by organizations, but there is a need to go a step further.
What is the best career advice you’ve received and why?
I was given an advice early on in my career which I realized later was also said by a successful businessman, Richard Branson. The quote goes, “If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity, but you are not sure you can do it, say yes – then learn how to do it later!” I have always tried to adopt this advice and sure, it comes with its risks, but overall I can say it has been worth it for me until now!
When did you join Tricor and why?
I joined Tricor in August 2021 as Group Head of Cyber Security. Soon into the hiring conversations, I realized the growing focus on both technology and technology risk management at a time when Tricor is seeing significant business growth. This is also an exciting time to be in my field, so both these factors combined made perfect sense to me.
