Welcome back to Excellence for Everyone, K2’s very own podcast! Last month, we introduced the Excellence for Everyone podcast as a way of sitting down and getting to know various members of the K2 Family.

Hosted by our Social Media Specialist Lydia Rafferty, we delve deep into the world of global mobility, seen through the eyes of all the different departments we have here at K2.

Episode #2 features Raffi Cortanyan, K2’s Global Head of Training. Lydia and Raffi discuss all things training within the global mobility industry, including how Raffi’s personal experiences in being an expat has influenced his career, the challenges he has faced, and why as a growing company it is so important to keep training globally consistent.
