#82 Sathya Gnanakaran - A Career by Design

Sathya Gnanakaran fell into Immigration law, but five years ago started questioning her purpose and asking what she was truly passionate about. A chance introduction opened her eyes. Join Sathya and I as we discuss the video she watched that changed everything. The video where she fell in love and knew where she needed to be. Intentional career moves followed. Sathya is doing incredible work as as immigration lawyer at Talent Beyond Boundaries. She has specialized in immigration law for over 15 years and worked for the two largest immigration providers in the world EY and Fragomen. She currently works as the Australia and New Zealand Director for Talent Beyond Boundaries, a global not for profit organisation working to unlock skilled migration pathways for refugees and other displaced people. She is leading the roll out of the Skilled Refugee Labour Agreement pilot program in Australia to move 200 families on employer sponsored skilled migration visas which was codesigned with by Talent Beyond Boundaries with the Department of Home Affairs. -----------------------   Craving inspiration?
