Nonlinear Career Paths: How Breaking Tradition Leads to Greater Success. With Janice Lee-Fu

Are you feeling stuck on the traditional career ladder?

Maybe it’s time to rethink what success really looks like. 🚀 

In this episode, I sit down with marketing leader Janice Lee-Fu to unpack the power of nonlinear career paths and discuss why they might just be the fastest route to growth, fulfilment, and long-term resilience.

Janice’s journey spans engineering, global FMCG brands, executive leadership, e-commerce, wellbeing and more recently academia.

Along the way, she’s learned how curiosity, agility, and resilience open doors you never expect, and why stepping sideways (or even backwards) can propel you further than climbing straight up.

🔥 What you’ll take away:

✅ The “rock climbing wall” analogy that redefines career growth
✅ Why agility and curiosity drive innovation and long-term success
✅ Lessons from FMCG, e-commerce, and highly regulated industries

✅ How financial literacy gives marketers a competitive edge
✅ Practical leadership strategies to engage and retain next-gen talent
✅ Why ditching the linear path can help you stand out in a crowded market

If you’re feeling a bit boxed in by your current career path, this conversation might be the inspiration you’re looking for.
