Charlie started his career in education at a London Pupil Referral Unit, working with some of the most disengaged pupils. As a founding member of the skill development company, Elevate Education UK, he played a significant role in their growth across the UK & SA.

Charlie worked as Head of Partnerships at a career coaching organization, Future Frontiers, where he started exploring the mutual benefits of connecting businesses and schools.

Through his partnership with Adrian Blair (ex-Global COO at Just Eat, now Group CEO at Receipt Bank), Charlie designed Circl to thoroughly equip both professionals and pupils with the skills and life experience they'll need to be influential leaders.
