Ask the Expert: Beyond the CV: What Industry Leaders Look for in Top Talent

Ask the Expert: Beyond the CV: What Industry Leaders Look for in Top Talent

October 28, 2026

What makes a professional truly unforgettable to a business leader?

Qualifications might get you in the door, but securing the offer takes something more. Join us for an interactive session with Sanjay Kadam, co-founder of Evolvance, an AI innovator and a finance-technology leader with over 25 years of experience, including 13+ years at PwC Netherlands. 

Throughout his career driving large-scale transformations, Sanjay hasn’t just interviewed candidates; he has built and led elite, high-performing teams from the ground up. Now, he’s sharing his unfiltered perspective on what leaders look for from the other side of the table.

 

WHAT TO EXPECT

During this one-hour session, we’ll discuss:

  • The hidden signals in your CV that catch a leader’s eye. 
  • Why honesty, adaptability, and teamwork often outweigh technical skills alone. 
  • How your approach to complex, real-world projects can set you apart. 

The main session will consist of 40 minutes of Sanjay’s insights and 20 minutes of live Q&A.

This isn’t another generic HR checklist.

It’s a candid, practical guide from an industry veteran to help you authentically position yourself for your next big career move. 

Secure your spot and discover how to stand out!
