Elisa Martinig

I am Elisa and I am the Founder and Director of The Career Changers. 

After a Master's Degree in Public Relations, I started a career in journalism. During that time, my second job was teaching in primary schools. 

I quickly realised that my country was not going to open many doors for me and I started exploring opportunities abroad. I decided to come to London, with a one-way ticket, and two light-blue suitcases.

I felt on top of the world. 

For twelve years, I have worked for some of the most well-known brands and companies, managing successful multi-million pounds marketing campaigns.

 I have also continued my search for a more meaningful way of living. 

Until the day where The Career Changers was born. A community that aims to inspire and celebrate other people during their journey to self-realisation, because each self-realised person is not only a happier person but can also make the world a better place.
