Episode Synopsis

Would you start over —
in a new country,
a new industry,
with nothing but conviction?

That’s exactly what Gurj Sandhu did.
From the UK to India, Singapore, and now Dubai, Gurj’s journey isn’t just about career change — it’s a masterclass in leadership that refuses to play safe.
In this episode of The Career Establishment, Andrea Ross sits down with the Founder & CEO of Leru Partners to unpack how bold leadership is forged — not in comfort zones, but across borders and breakdowns.


Here’s what you’ll hear:
→ From MD to CEO: Why reinvention isn’t a title change — it’s an identity shift
→ Breaking into the GCC: What trust looks like when you are the outsider
→ The “Leru” Philosophy: How values become your hiring edge
→ Beyond 360: Why executive search is due for a disruption
→ Talent Trends 2025: What Asia and the GCC are really hiring for

Also inside:
• Bootstrapping a business with two toddlers under five
• What happens when you lead before you’re ready
• Why not knowing the next step might be your best leverage
• How Leru Remote is opening doors for overlooked talent
• The art of building culture from the ground up

This episode is for you if:
✅You’re done playing it safe.
✅You’re building something that matters.
✅You want to lead with more truth, not more titles.

Listen now — because reinvention doesn’t wait, and neither should you.
