299: Career Conversation with Charlie Ackerman

I’ve always believed that our careers aren’t built in isolation. Behind every milestone, breakthrough, and bold move, there are people who’ve guided us, challenged us, and lifted us higher—mentors, sponsors, and leaders who’ve left a lasting imprint on our journey.

In this special series, I’m sitting down with some of the most influential voices in my own career—the mentors who’ve offered wise guidance, the sponsors who’ve opened doors, and the leaders who’ve shaped how I think and lead. Together, we’ll explore the conversations, decisions, and pivotal moments that made a difference—both in their careers and in mine.

From navigating change and growth to finding your voice and building influence, these candid conversations are filled with practical wisdom and powerful takeaways to help you lead and design a career you truly want.

Today my special guest is Charlie Ackerman, former CHRO for Bosch in North America.
