Episode notes

Carol Ndolo Banks was a high-flying healthcare executive running the East African chapter of the global, American-based health-tech firm IQVIA... when she suddenly quit her job, much to the shock of her colleagues, peers and bosses, who had watched her career rise from bedside nurse to General Manager.


What many didn't know is that while her career was flourishing, things on the home front, in her marriage, were steadily deteriorating, causing her to feel burnt out and unsettled.


So, after hosting the very successful IQVIA Africa Health Summit in November 2022, she handed in her resignation and went home to reflect on things and figure out her next move.


She currently runs her own health consulting business, and is still navigating the effects of her separation on her family. She is also the author of a book called 'Ethical Leadership: Creating A Culture Of Trust And Responsibility', available on Amazon.


Find out how she figured out her path back to business in this very personal, very absorbing story.
