Episode Notes
Amanda sits down with Harit Talwar, former executive at Citigroup, Discover Financial Services, and Goldman Sachs, and current board member of Mastercard and KPMG US, for a conversation on leadership, resilience, and navigating uncertainty. Drawing on decades of experience building businesses and leading through periods of profound change, Harit reflects on the lessons that shaped his leadership philosophy—from his childhood in India to steering major consumer finance businesses through the 2008 financial crisis.
Together, they explore the importance of integrity, the value of productive disagreement, and why leaders must remain focused on their “north stars” during moments of disruption. The conversation also touches on mentorship, spirituality, the future of consumer finance, and how kindness, humility, and calmness can become enduring competitive advantages in business and life.
