After earning a degree at Oxford, Holly went backpacking in Australia, where she worked in TV for a while and then decided that TV was boring but the stock market was awesomely interesting. Returning home, Holly held senior roles at Merrill Lynch, Aviva and Santander before setting up her first business, The Platforum, in 2008. She sold the business to Centaur Media in 2014, and launched Boring Money in July 2015
