My guest this week is Vanessa Lu, Head of HR @ Google Taiwan. Vanessa's journey has been anything but conventional. She began as a news editor for a TV station, then transitioned to the finance sector, working with renowned banks like Standard Chartered. After completing her graduate studies in the US, she found her calling in HR, where she has thrived for the past decade. Growing up in a conservative Taiwanese society, Vanessa attributes much of her success to her outspoken personality and willingness to take risks.
During the interview, we delved into the talent landscape in Taiwan, as well as the unique challenges and opportunities in the market. We also explored Vanessa's experiences in helping companies scale, discussing the lessons she learned along the way. Lastly, we touched upon her inspiring journey and the secret ingredients that contributed to her success.
