Isabel Berwick

Host and editor, 'Working It' podcast and newsletter

Isabel Berwick is the host of the FT's Working It podcast about the workplace and writes the weekly Working It newsletter. She is the editorial lead for the FT Women in Business Forum, moderates and hosts FT and external events about the workplace and beyond, and is writing a book about how to thrive at work.

Isabel joined the FT in 1999 from the Independent on Sunday, where she was the business editor. She held senior editing roles on FT Weekend and the Opinion desk before becoming Work & Careers editor in 2018, overseeing the FT's management, leadership and workplace content. She left that role early in 2023 to focus full-time on the Working It brand.
