The View from The Top - Talent Mobility in Emerging Markets

Описание: Relocation isn’t always about moving people—it’s about moving capability. On November 26, The View from The Top welcomes Sivan Maron, CHRO at ASA International, for a candid conversation on talent mobility through an Africa-first lens: when to relocate, when to hire locally, and how culture, capability, and business need shape the right answer.

Sivan oversees HR across multiple countries, with global mobility under her remit. Rather than high-volume transfers, her focus is low-volume, high-impact moves—guided by culture and business outcomes. Expect a refreshing, strategic take on mobility that looks beyond logistics to the value created (or lost) when skills cross borders.

We’ll explore:
🔹 Strategy over scale: building a mobility framework for emerging markets where volume is limited but stakes are high
🔹 Culture as a success factor: why a move that works in one country may fail in another (e.g., Nigeria vs. Rwanda)
🔹 Local hire vs. relocation: deciding when skills must travel—and when capability should be grown in-market
🔹 Legacy vs. innovation: what expat populations bring, and when they may hold transformation back
🔹 Skills mobility without moves: project-based, short-term, and virtual options to develop talent across borders
🔹 Europe vs. Africa realities: different expectations, constraints, and pathways to talent growth
🔹 Designing outcomes: aligning assignments to clear capability goals—and ensuring repatriation value is captured

Have you faced a move that looked perfect on paper but clashed with local culture? How do you weigh business urgency against on-the-ground realities? Join us and share your perspective.

As always, we’ll have the latest immigration updates with Julia Onslow-Cole (Fragomen), tax updates with Julie Baron (Vialto Partners), and breaking news from across the industry.
