Sush Bastola

Director of Growth

Sush started his career working in PR and recruitment, before moving into the Learning and Development space where he has worked with a worldwide client base. He has been involved in the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion arena for the past three years, leading growth teams in a wide array of industries to drive DEI goals, aspirations, and plans. Having studied Biomedical Science and Journalism at University, Sush came to see the adverse impact that unconscious bias and disadvantage has, whether that be in healthcare and medicine or media and society. As the Director of Growth, Sush focuses on establishing and maintaining the long-lasting and meaningful relationships we form with our clients, whilst helping drive Ibis’s business growth. DEI is of the utmost importance to Sush because he felt the effects of bias during his initial years looking for work in the corporate space, where he realized using his full name was finding him little success. After shortening it, he saw a radical increase in invites he received to interviews. If you do not find Sush on a client kick-off call, you will likely find him traveling the world and making friends in new countries.
