About Sally
When she graduated from Oxford with her English degree, Sally didn’t think she’d end up in tech; it was a series of side doors that led her there. No grand plan. No financial target. In the end, she spent 15+ years leading global teams at Amazon and Blinkist developing a sharp eye for shaping businesses that balance scale with soul, ambition with integrity. Now she does that for humans instead helping recent grads launch their career a different way. No more demoralising applications, unanswered feedback requests, and automated rejections. Instead, they get clarity, build confidence, and make distinctly human connections that open ‘side doors’ into opportunities that will never be advertised. Seen for who they are, what they bring - and their potential, not just their polish.
