What kind of person can turn a local startup into a global standard-setter—navigating legal landscapes, scaling teams, and staying human through it all? That’s the kind of trailblazing journey we explore in this episode.
In this episode of Behind the Screens, I had the privilege of sitting down with Summa McCosker, a dynamic force in the background screening world, whose 27-year journey from a tiny retail job in a fishing village to becoming the APAC Chair of PBSA is nothing short of remarkable. We explore her path through startups, global leadership, and the power of saying yes to unexpected opportunities. Summa shares the wins, the failures, the clairvoyant doubts she crushed, and the deep “why” behind her commitment to compliance, education, and global progress. This conversation is a masterclass in resilience, strategic vision, and how passion can turn into purpose—even with two teenage sons, a cat, and a teapot collection in the background. You don’t want to miss this.
