Welcome to our latest podcast series, Changing the Game: She Leads.

We are dedicated to sharing the real, human stories behind female leaders in recruitment – Founders, CEOs, and trailblazers who’ve made it to the top of their game.

In this candid conversation with Lisa Walder (Co-Founder, FIFTEEN WEST), Ruth Steel (Co-Founder, Arculen) unpacks her accidental start in Amsterdam, the relentlessness of early success, and the reality of relocating to the U.S. as a new mum tasked with opening an office from scratch.

Ruth talks openly about advocating for yourself, pushing for inclusive cultures beyond alcohol-fuelled incentives, and choosing friendship-first when Co-Founding Arculen backed by a female investor.

What to expect: curiosity as a superpower, lessons in saying no, and a blueprint for integrating life and leadership without apologising.

You’ll hear about:

Thriving as a woman in a male-led playbook
Negotiating your worth (and backing yourself)
Redefining “success” beyond KPIs and burnout

Hit follow and share with a woman who’s changing the game.
