Karan Podger learnt to ski at the age of 11, like so many of us by going on a school holiday, even though none of her family showed any interest in winter sports at the time. After leaving College Karan worked for Nicolson International, a large international city based head hunters. After learning the industry she decided to take a well earned year out to “do a season “ and worked for the premier chalet company Scott Dunn in Zermatt. After falling for the charms of Switzerland Karan ended up staying on for another 5 winters working in all areas of the hospitality industry and enjoying improving her skiing and German. Karan also spent 2 amazing years working in Ibiza.
On return she worked again for Scott Dunn in the Recruitment / Operations department and was well known for being the friendly and calm voice dealing with whatever problems the 170 resort staff could come up with. Karan is well known and respected within the winter sports industry. Her connections and skill at finding and placing reliable, skilled staff is an asset that employers and jobseekers can rely on.
