In this 7th episode of Unplug With Us, we sit down with Tammy Arnaud, Chief People Officer at Forto, to explore her untold, personal stories as ‘citizen of the world’. Tammy takes us back to her roots - growing up in an XL Brazilian household, where family, tradition, and storytelling shaped her love for literature, resilience, and global exploration. We dive into the question of belonging - how do we stay connected to our culture while embracing change? And how do we carry a sense of home with us, no matter where life takes us?
After years of studying abroad and building an international career, Tammy found herself back in her home country- only to realise that, despite speaking the language, the culture felt entirely foreign. This made her reflect on the thrill of new beginnings versus the emotional toll of constantly starting over. Does moving get easier, or just old? Tammy talks about the sacrifices, the lessons learned, and why, for the first time, she feels ready to settle in Amsterdam. She finally shares how these experiences have shaped her leadership style, and the invaluable mentorship insights that have guided her along the way.
Tune in to hear all about exploring horizons, cultural differences and valuable life and mentor advice, that will have you reflecting.
Stay Keen,
