Today’s guest, Willy Kuhene, is a global leader at Google overseeing a €0.5B program portfolio spanning North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. He’s the creator of the Standard of Consistency, a leadership framework that helps teams drive high performance through clarity, rhythm, and trust. In this episode, we explore how consistency becomes a competitive advantage in fast-changing environments, the art of leading global teams with empathy, and the lessons Willy has learned as both a leader and a father—about priorities, unpredictability, and leading with heart. Willy also shares how his passion for design and intentional living comes to life through nortehaus, a retreat where architecture and leadership intersect.
