Career insights with Ambition the podcast

Welcome to Career Insights with Ambition the Podcast

I’m your host Chris Crolla, Director of Ambition, Sydney, join us as we dive deep into the defining moments of influential C-Suite executives across the Finance and Technology space. Each episode features candid conversations with inspiring leaders who share their untold stories and career milestones.

We created this podcast to provide a platform for experienced leaders to share their wisdom for the next generation. At our core we believe deeply in building better futures, and what could be better than a peep behind the curtain with leaders in the positions you aspire to.

This is incredibly meaningful to me because I’ve always believed in the power of shared knowledge and experience. Through experiencing and assisting with many journeys in my career, I’ve seen how impactful it can be to learn from those who’ve walked the path before you— especially when those leaders are willing to open up and share their real, unfiltered stories.

The world of Finance and Technology can often feel complex, competitive, and at times even a bit daunting. But what I've come to realize is that behind every successful executive are stories of determination, resilience, and learning from both their successes and setbacks. I want this podcast to give you an inside look into the experiences, decisions, and turning points that shaped these incredible leaders.

The road to success is never linear. By bringing these stories to life, I hope to provide insights, inspiration, and guidance that empower the next generation of leaders to create better futures for themselves and their teams.

If you’re hoping to transition to a C-Suite role join us as we uncover the moments of truth that have shaped our guests' journeys to success. From breakthrough achievements to personal revelations, our episodes offer a unique glimpse into the lives of those who inspire and lead with Ambition, and how you could too.
