Description

Torchinsky Executive Insights is a podcast about executive careers, leadership decisions, and the realities of senior management in global companies.

Hosted by Mike Torchinsky, founder of Torchinsky Executive Consulting with 25 years in executive search across high-frequency trading, cryptocurrency, fintech, and proprietary trading sectors. With 65,000+ LinkedIn followers and deep experience placing C-level executives across Dubai, Tel Aviv, London, and emerging markets, Mike brings insider perspective that few can match.

Beyond executive search, Mike leads Advisory Pods — a structured advisory board service matching senior domain experts with companies seeking strategic guidance on market entry, scaling, and complex business decisions.

Drawing on real cases from executive search, the show explores contracts, non-competes, career risks, compensation negotiations, market dynamics, and what leaders rarely discuss publicly. From quant trading floors to crypto startups, from family offices to global fintechs — no corporate fluff, just practical, experience-based insights for executives navigating complex career choices.
