Ep 8: A Conversation with Betty Encinales - Hispanic Heritage Month Special
In this episode, Diego talks to Betty Encinales , a Colombian-born CEO, headhunter, entrepreneur, keynote speaker and Ironman triathlete multi-marathon runner straight from the heart of the capital of Colombia.
We dive deep into a revealing conversation where Betty talks to us about her journey into the world of business and finance, her first steps in building her career in the city of London and how she eventually landed a job at the Financial Times in the heart of London’s financial district.
We talk about the challenges she faced, overcoming language barriers and racial/gender stereotypes in the world of business, and what she did to go on to build a successful financial career for herself and subsequently start her own international company (Becruit).
Betty also talks to us about her passions outside of work, how she manages her time, and her best bits of advice to start a professional career and be successful.
Finally, we discuss the Latin American community in London and she gives us some final pieces of advice on how to start your career and overcome challenges faced.
