(Picture: Charlie Wells)Charlie Wells studied neurobiology at university before moving to London and zooming up the ranks in healthcare marketing. Everything, he says, “worked out really well for me. I had huge dollops of luck, and huge dollops of privilege.”
He worked his way up to marketing director of Ogilvy & Mather, with clients including GSK before leaving to set up a social media tech company, which was bought by Sapient Nitro in 2011. SN made him director of strategy for Europe. “I was 29, and living the dream,” Wells remembers of what he calls his ‘before life.’
