  • [Introduction]

    In this week’s episode of The Median Podcast, I’m joined by Yan Kruger who is the managing director of Growth Wave, a boutique business and HR advisory firm. Throughout his 15+ year journey, Yan has worked across the full remit of human capital and brings a unique blend of experience as a consultant as well as internal employee and leader. With that, Yan shares the four pillars to creating an enduring business, the values that define him and his business, the painful leadership lessons he has learnt in his career and how his upbringing has very much shaped his desire to achieving social justice where the ultimate reward is very much an emotional one.
