The 9 People You Need in Your Career Squad by Carolina de Arriba
Book cover

The Book

You were never meant to navigate this alone.

After twenty years building her career across four countries, Carolina de Arriba wrote the book she wished she'd had on day one.

Build Your Career Squad is built around one central idea: you were never meant to navigate this alone. The professionals who go furthest are never the ones who go it alone — they are the ones who build the right people around them.

Meet the nine people every career needs.
