How can we really achieve gender equity in the C-Suite?
In this episode of Borderless Executive Live, our host Els De Cremer, founding partner of Borderless, is joined by Reshma Ramachandran, former Chief Transformation Officer at Adecco, and current Non-Executive Director of ISS A/S and Oxford Instruments. In her role at Adecco, Reshma specialized in driving digital and cultural transformation. She is especially committed to creating environments of inclusion, diversity and belonging, and is a staunch advocate for more women in STEM-related jobs.
The annual celebration of International Women’s Day sees companies worldwide release statements on their progress regarding gender equity in the workplace. But how much progress has really been made when it comes to women in business and C-suite roles? And are we progressing in the right direction?
With a background in engineering and one of the few women of color in a senior management position in Switzerland, Reshma knows firsthand about the topic. In this episode, she shares her experiences and discusses that work still needs to be done to bring more women into C-suite positions.

Demystifying the truth behind plastics and sustainability
On this episode of the Borderless Executive Live, our host Andrew Kris is joined by Chris DeArmitt, President of Phantom Plastics, and the author of The Plastics Paradox: Facts for a Brighter Future.
What if everything we knew about plastics is wrong? What if the world isn’t facing a plastic crisis but rather a misinformation crisis? And what if decision-makers are making policies based on bad information that harms the environment and costs us billions of dollars each year?
In this episode, Chris and Andrew shed light on one of the most controversial topics in history by presenting us with the facts behind plastics and the real impact it has on the environment, as compared to other materials.

Rethinking Food Innovation: Neuroscience in the driving seat
This episode of Borderless Executive Live is brought to you by our Partner, and Food & Beverage sector specialist, Brian Hughes. He is joined by Mario Ubiali, CEO and Founder of Thimus, a revolutionary company that uses the tools of cultural neuroscience to gain an in-depth understanding of the behavior and motivations that drive human beings towards their chosen food. Thimus builds a holistic vision of how neurophysiological processes intertwine with cultural, social, and epigenetic elements to impact what we eat.
In this insightful episode, Brian and Mario discuss what the science says about the links between our brains and our relationships with food, how we can change our behaviour and how these insights can importantly help shape the future food landscape in a sustainable, innovative, and ethical way.

Office of the future and how to foster an innovative culture, with Brett Hautop Founder of Workshape
Innovation happens when we are our most productive selves. On this episode of Borderless Executive Live: The Podcast, we had the pleasure of talking with Brett Hautop, Founder of Workshape. Brett has a unique approach to the world of virtual work environments. He’s leveraged his professional experience, including the years he worked at LinkedIn, to truly understand what the work environment means for businesses today, and how it aids the way companies operate.
Companies in the current environment should consider answering the questions:
-What do we do with our offices?
-Why do they matter?
-Why is the workplace experience important?
In our conversation, Brett mentioned that more and more companies are asking for insight and guidance about where to go from here, knowing that physical proximity in one workspace matters to them. The challenges are that often, they have no idea why it even matters to them, nor do they know how to get people together productively, in one place at the same time.
Listen to the podcast for our full conversation about the ‘Office of the future.’
