From medicine to headhunting - a life at the sharp end

A tale of transferable skills, risk-taking and making the most of every opportunity ...

Headhunting in the jungles of London can provide plenty of intellectual stimulation. As Curly says in the interview, isn’t being a surgeon a bit like being a seamstress?

In this episode, Curly talks about training as a doctor at Oxford and Cambridge, but how she then moved across to being a headhunter. We talk about the risks of that switch and how she leveraged them to her advantage to be at the top of her game.
