I worked with Ellen years ago and was excited to hear she was starting her own business. Ellen is the quintessential digital professional and was a leader in corporate in Australia and the UK for many years after leaving her journalism career. Ellen has been running her own business for more than a year now…

Like many of the people I have interviewed in Strengths in Uncertainty, Richard is someone I have followed for a while.
