About Sarah Ellis
Sarah Ellis began her career in marketing and corporate responsibility, working for brands including Boots, Barclays and Sainsbury's. She later co-founded Amazing If with her friend Helen Tupper, starting it as a side project. The two noticed that linear, predictable career ladders were fading. They set out to help people build the skills for a "squiggly" career, where moving between roles and industries is increasingly common. Their book The Squiggly Career was their first together, and they also host a weekly podcast called Squiggly Careers. Sarah completed an MBA at Warwick Business School and graduated with distinction. She has also studied at the London and Harvard business schools. She is a qualified Mental Health First Aider and co-chairs the Mayor of London's workspace advisory board.
