Young Pros Spotlight
Moly Leelatham
What is your role / current company?
Growth Analytics Lead/CLARK
If you could offer one piece of advice to other young professionals, what would it be?
Try everything and say yes. The best advice I’ve ever gotten was to increase your surface area for luck and knowledge. Get out of your comfort zone: go to that event alone, try coding, try designing. You don’t need to be the expert in the room to belong in it.
What has been your proudest professional achievement to date?
Going from intern to Growth Analytics Lead in two years has been a ride I’m genuinely proud of. Alongside that, winning three hackathons and, as a byproduct, pitching on stage at Web Summit pushed me to build and communicate ideas fast, under pressure, in front of people who could actually challenge them.
How has being an ARF Young Pro member impacted your career?
I’ve only just joined, so it’s early days, but I expect it to open up resources, events, and opportunities to connect with others in my field, people I wouldn’t otherwise cross paths with day to day. I’m looking forward to seeing where those conversations lead. I think we’re at a special time where genuine human connection is becoming a scarce resource, so having a space intentionally built for that feels valuable.
Can you name a company or brand that you think is doing an excellent job and why?
Anthropic. I’ve had an account since the early days. What stands out is the marketing: making frontier models feel like a natural experience rather than an intimidating one, having a Head of Philosophy actively working on AI alignment, and the community culture they’ve built around things like Claude Code meetups in London.
What is something you recently saw on the internet that made you smile? It can be work-related or otherwise (PG-13).
Some of the World Cup content, honestly. The Norwegian Airlines and British Airways bet, the player montages, kids meeting their idols. I’m not the biggest sports fan, but there’s something about how it brings people together that gets me every time.
How has mentorship played a role in your career journey?
Beyond Significant. My first manager shaped the professional I am now, especially how quickly I take initiative. He saw what I’d excel at before I did and built my first role around it while I was still in my final year of uni. The confidence, advice, and trust he gave me is something I hope to pass on to someone else one day. Every mentor since has been someone who brings out the best in me by questioning me for it.
What is your dream job? If money were no object, what would you do?
Honestly, probably still analytics. I love the field. But if I could pick something purely for fun, I’d be an analogist: giving analogies for a living, the way philosophers did before modernity turned everything into specialists.
