It was a pleasure to welcome back OM Guy Woyder (Murray 2009–14) to the Old Millhillians Club office, to speak with our Sixth Form pupils about his career journey since leaving school.

Guy began his career training as a chartered accountant in audit at BDO LLP, before moving into commercial and client-facing finance roles and, ultimately, into media and communications. He is now Commercial Director at Publicis Groupe, one of the world’s leading communications and media organisations.

His story offered our pupils something particularly valuable: an honest insight into the fact that careers are rarely linear. From following an initial path to recognising new opportunities and the possibility of change, Guy’s experience demonstrated the value of remaining open to where a career might take you.

If any OMs would like to come in and share their career journey, please get in touch.
