PODCAST / 20 Jul 2023

introducing our host, karen wilks!

I am delighted to have been asked to host season two of “Mobility Matters,” the official Cartus podcast. I’m looking forward to having some truly valuable (and honest!) conversations with folks from across the global mobility industry and beyond!

In our upcoming series, we have special guests, Billy Ho, CPA Talent Mobility, Senior Manager at Electronic Arts discussing priorities and challenges for the year ahead and Matthew Ferrara, philosopher and consultant to multinational brands, exploring the art of successful leadership and decision making within mobility.

For now, here’s a quick teaser where I’m joined by the wonderful Lisa Johnson, Director, Global DEI Solutions. In it, we explore some of the topics we’ll be covering throughout the second season and our new “WOW! Factor” segment.

Let’s get the conversation started!
