Lending During a Global Pandemic: Customers Bank’s Road to Success w/ Sam Sidhu

#297: Sam Sidhu of Customers Bank

Back in the 90's, I remember coming into the lunch room to get my coffee and there was Sam flipping through The Province newspaper sports section. He had such a calm and curious demeanour so we would usually find ourselves in a conversation about something that made me think. Sam Sidhu is now Director of HR with McCarthy Tètrault, one of the largest law firms in Canada. But I learned in this conversation that he started his career in the late 80's by stumbling into a conversation. 15 years later he fell upon his true calling when he wasn't even looking. We chat about his pivots, his experience working in an industry in the midst of disruption and his perspectives on leadership.
