S1 Ep4: Ethical Innovation & Evolving Careers – Magalie Heraud on Leading with Optimism in Tech and Beyond

"Life is like a bicycle, to keep your balance you need to keep moving forward."

 

In this episode of Change Unfiltered, I sit down with Magalie Heraud — a global leader in tech, sustainability, and innovation — to talk about the power of optimism, ethical leadership, and evolving with purpose.

 

With a career that spans the UK, France, Germany, and Switzerland, Magalie brings a fresh perspective on how to navigate growth without losing your values. From driving responsible AI initiatives to coaching startups, her work is grounded in both future-thinking and human connection.

 

In this conversation, we explore:

• Navigating career change through learning, optimism, and action

• What ethical innovation looks like in fast-moving industries

• The role of community and connection in professional evolution

• How to stay grounded while balancing ambition and wellbeing

 

This is a thoughtful, future-facing conversation about how we build meaningful careers in a rapidly changing world.
