Summary

It’s not everyday that the Managing Director of one of the biggest media platforms drops by the studio, but today, Gabby is joined by Alison Lomax - MD of Youtube UK and Ireland.

Alison explains how she came to be doing a job that didn’t even exist when she was graduating from university, and how she took a massive chance by working in digital advertising - a chance that has really paid off! She also speaks about what it was like climbing the ladder in a male dominated industry and how it took her a long time to find her leadership style, plus how she learned how to juggle her responsibilities as a mother with her career.

She speaks openly about taking a sabbatical in midlife in order to recharge and to help her daughters through their exams, and how it enabled her to attack her dream job with new energy and rigour. She also shares what it’s been like since discovering she had breast cancer 18 months ago, and how it led to a health reset and even more gratitude for life and all the opportunities it presents.

Alison mentions Future Dreams in this episode, and to find out more about the charity’s work visit futuredreams.org.uk
