Season 5 Episode 6: GSB Career Insights on Business Development and Neuroscience (with Awwal Abdullahi)

Not all healthcare decisions happen in a hospital. In this episode, we’re with Awwal Abdullahi, a Business Development and Strategy professional on the Neuroscience team at Medtronic. His work sits at the intersection of healthcare and business, focused on one goal: improving how patients around the world access essential medical technologies. Awwal shares his journey from electrical engineering, to public health, to advising governments across Africa on health system strengthening, and now into the for-profit healthcare space at a medical device company. He breaks down what business development and strategy actually look like in healthcare, how partnerships drive access to care, and why sustainability matters just as much as innovation. For anyone interested in healthcare careers, strategy, or the business side of global health, this episode offers a grounded look into how care is ultimately delivered to the people who need it most.

episode Season 5 Episode 2: GSB's Career Insights on Credit Risk Management with Temitope Kazeem cover

Season 5 Episode 2: GSB's Career Insights on Credit Risk Management with Temitope Kazeem

Ever wondered how banks decide who gets a loan, and who doesn’t?  In this episode, we sit down with Temitope, a credit risk and financial services professional with an MBA, experienced in advising banks across the UK and international markets. Credit risk management (CRM) determines who banks lend to, how much risk they take, and how they do it responsibly. Temitope explains how CRM balances regulatory compliance, responsible lending, and financial inclusion, and shares why sometimes saying “no” to a loan is the most responsible decision a bank can make. We discuss how Temitope transitioned from a non-finance background into credit risk management, the entry-level opportunities available, essential skills, and the evolving future of the profession. Whether you’re exploring a career in finance or curious about how lending decisions are made, tune in for practical insights and career advice from a credit risk expert.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
