Be a career chameleon: The art of adapting your way to the top

Description: 

The traditional career ladder is a thing of the past. Today’s dynamic business environment rewards people who are willing to be adaptable, especially those willing to move across functions, rather than just “up” the rungs. In this session, Marie Walsh, Head of Internal Audit & Risk at Spotify, shares how auditors should become “career chameleons”: professionals who leverage their unique opportunity in audit to drive a career across industries, roles, and functions.

Drawing on 20+ years across public accounting, financial services, big tech, and media, Marie will challenge the myth of the linear path and offer practical habits for building a more resilient and fulfilling career. Whether you are early in your audit career or a seasoned leader, this session offers a practical roadmap for building a resilient, fulfilling, and non-obvious career.

Learning objectives: 

•  Compare the traditional linear career ladder with a different approach, intentionally building breadth across industries, audit topics/types, and functions.
•  Evaluate which of the four career chameleon habits to prioritize based on their current career stage and goals.
• Assess current career trajectory and select at least two actions from the career chameleon action plan to implement.
