Independent Executive is a podcast for accomplished executives who want to build a career with more independence, choice and ownership. Hosted by Executive Strategist Sabine Kühn, each episode features a candid conversation with an executive who has left corporate life to build something of their own. From advisors and consultants to founders, board members and portfolio executives, Sabine gets behind the polished version of going independent to understand how they actually did it: why they made the move, how they decided what to offer, how they built a reputation beyond the company name and title, the mistakes they made, and what they wish they’d known before they started. You’ll hear practical lessons on positioning, building relationships, creating credibility and navigating the identity shift that comes with leaving an established executive career behind. Whether you’re already independent, actively considering the move, or simply want to create more choice in your career, Independent Executive offers an honest look at what it takes to build a successful professional life on your own terms.
