The team behind the movement

Dom escaped a career in Management consultancy to start Escape the City back in 2010. Dom is currently steering the Escape the City ship. He is connecting with big friends who are aligned with our mission and purpose to build a platform to enable 1,000,000 people to transition into fulfilling work.

Skye works tirelessly to make Escape an amazing place to work, and to enhance our impact so that we can change millions of people’s lives and change the working status quo. Before joining Escape, Skye worked at Startup Britain and think tank Centre for Entrepreneurs, traveling across the country designing initiatives to help support entrepreneurial ambitions across the UK. She sits on the advisory board of The Entrepreneurs Network, a think tank working on entrepreneurial policy and is a host for Rebel Book Club.

Before joining Escape, Elena spent 10 fun-filled years in the fitness industry - but craving a change she started searching for something new and exciting and above all, purpose-driven. As our Head of Partnerships on our Shift product, Elena spends a lot of time talking to organisations who want to walk the talk and level up their People & Culture teams. In her spare time, Elena started her own online diverse and inclusive bookshop for kids and enjoys running (somewhat slowly).

Before joining Escape, Hilary worked in fashion brand and content marketing in London. She left in January 2021 to pursue a simpler life — starting with converting a campervan and subsequently spending the summer in Cornwall. She is now travelling around Northern Spain and Portugal, sampling the culinary delights and beautiful beaches on offer. Along with ensuring all the amazing opportunities at Escape The City are shared with the world, Hilary spends her time knitting, crocheting and running as a way to explore new places.

Charlotte was in a high flying London Real Estate job and but yearned for a job with more purpose. As our Employer Happiness Officer, Charlotte looks after each and every one of our employers who post on our job board - ensuring each is well looked after throughout their whole journey working with Escape. If you ever speak to Charlotte talk to her about her experience on Big Brother with her mum!

In September 2020 Tim escaped (with glee) from Public Affairs in London to move to Granada in sunny Andalucía where he lives with a small forest of basil plants (he loves pesto). Realising that he loved to write and keenly looking for a more creative role he was delighted to become Content Writer at Escape. He loves to inform and entertain our wonderful users as they make their escapes into meaningful work. Outside of work, Tim’s main passion is writing music, alongside nature and the environment. He follows Aston Villa and is unable to say no to Margaritas when offered.

Amanpreet made her escape deciding to work exclusively within sustainable fashion and responsible companies. Her journey took her to the rice fields of Bali to explore its co-working haven and incredible start-up scene. She is passionate about circular economy, fashion and responsible business alongside running the Escape socials. She enjoys hyperrealist drawing, making clothes and travelling.
