    May 14 2026

    In our latest Beyond the Trophy podcast episode, Natasha Frangos, Managing Partner at HaysMac talks about building a firm where ambition isn't confined to a job description.

    In this episode, Natasha shares how HaysMac has grown by staying entrepreneurial, why involving people early in new initiatives pays dividends, and what other business leaders can learn from a firm that sees potential as something to be unleashed - not managed.
