No job posting, no playbook: Lessons in building a portfolio career

ALMOST five years ago, I made a decision that unsettled me more than I let on.

After three decades in banking, payments and fintech, I stepped away from corporate life without a clear plan. The Covid-19 pandemic forced a pause. In that stillness, I finally asked: How do I want to spend my time, with whom, and on what?

Those questions led me to a portfolio career, with board roles across listed companies, financial institutions and the non-profit sector.
