Episode Synopsis

Wow, we made it to episode 10! In this lovely conversation, we sit down with Allan Nunes Messias, Head of Recruitment EMEA & APAC at Adyen, to explore his personal, untold stories—from his early days as a recruiter to stepping into leadership, all while navigating identity, growth, and purpose.Allan shares what it was like moving from Brazil to Europe at a very young age, navigating cultural differences and beginning the process of discovering who he wanted to become both professionally and as a person. Central to that journey is his commitment to authenticity. He talks about the self-awareness that comes with living by your values, even when it means making unpopular decisions or going against the grain—because, as a friend once told him, “a value is only truly a value if you’re willing to sacrifice something for it.”We also dive into Allan’s thoughtful approach to mentorship and learning—drawing inspiration from a diverse range of leaders and staying energized by insights from outside the traditional talent space, such as creative campaigns, conversations on psychological safety, and curated social media content. A powerful story not to miss. Tune in now!Stay Keen,Doeke Geertsma, CEO at WeAreKeenWebsite: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.wearekeen.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/wearekeen⁠
