S2-Ep 16 EPIC Risk with Callie Lombard

In this episode, host Jacqueline Frost talks to Callie Lombard Global Head of Corporate Strategic Solutions, Barclays Investment Bank.

Callie Lombard recounts her journey of "epic risk," detailing the life-altering decision to leave her legal career in South Africa for a new role in banking on the unfamiliar continent of Europe. Spurred by a traumatic carjacking and a deep-seated desire for a safer future for her son, Callie embraces a move to Gibraltar, a place she had never visited, demonstrating immense courage and a willingness to step far outside her comfort zone.

The discussion concludes with Callie sharing a quote from the former South African president and Nobel Prize winner, Nelson Mandela. “I am what I am.........both as a result of people who respected me and helped me, and of those who did not respect me and treated me badly.'
