In our latest episode of Personally Speaking, Christine Burton sits down with Shahla Dowley, Global Operations Manager for K2 Bespoke, to explore her remarkable journey from a two-week summer intern to leading a global team after more than a decade with K2.
The conversation follows Shahla's career progression, the growth of K2 Bespoke, and what it takes to deliver highly personalised relocation services for senior executives around the world. Shahla shares how the team has evolved from supporting a single client to managing complex, high-touch relocations, where every assignment presents unique challenges and no two moves are ever the same.
Together, they discuss the importance of company culture, mentorship, and continuous learning, alongside the realities of leading a growing global team. The episode also offers a behind-the-scenes look at the unexpected requests that come with executive relocations, the value of proactive planning, and how K2 Bespoke balances flexibility with exceptional client service. Finally, Shahla reflects on preparing for her upcoming sabbatical, trusting her team, and the lessons she's learned about leadership throughout her career.
