Whether you’re thinking about moving from the corporate world to the nonprofit sector, considering your next role in the social sector, or thinking about how to make smart hiring decisions — you won’t want to miss out on this fascinating discussion with Victoria Dimitrokopolous, former leader of global recruitment specialist Egohn Zehnder’s social sector practice.

We had such an interesting and wide-ranging conversation, In addition to leadership and hiring, we also talked about Victoria’s latest venture, in which she is combining her formidable talents for caricature and research, to develop an amazingly rich set of resources on early childhood.

Victoria Dimitrikopolous lived across Europe and Canada before studying Econometrics at the University of Geneva. Her professional life experience included work in investment banking and equity derivatives in London and working as a consultant for the Boston Consulting Group in San Francisco, Paris and Athens.

Most recently she spent a decade at the global executive recruiting firm Egon Zehnder, focused on the Public and Social Sector. There she helped organizations like the UN, World Bank, IMF, Red Cross, etc., foundations, non-profit organizations and academic institutions with finding the right people for their Board, CEO, and top-teams.

Currently on an extended maternity sabbatical, she is fueling her passion for how the human brain forms and heals with readings on neuroscience, psychology, history and public policy. Her illustrated blog on these complex yet critical topics (are gathered) gathers them under Project BrainHeart (www.projectbrainheart.com). She shares other cartoons about life on Instagram.
