In this episode of Fairygodboss Radio, we sit down with Beatriz Jaén Caparrós, Director of People Systems at Booking.com. Beatriz reflects on a turning point in her career, realizing her passion for international work and the importance of cultural understanding. She also highlights two key female mentors who shaped her career and helped her navigate challenges in a male-dominated industry. Beatriz opens up about the power of vulnerability—stressing that it’s a source of strength, not weakness—and encourages others to embrace vulnerability in their personal and professional lives.

She shares valuable lessons learned, including the importance of accepting what’s out of your control and focusing on how you respond to life’s challenges. Beatriz also talks about strategies for managing work-life balance and the importance of not striving for perfection but embracing “good enough.”
