Bio
Isabelle HARDEL
Sofia is definitely a results driven and inspiring leader. Beside her unquestionable professional skills, I particularly appreciated her incredible energy, her positivism and her human skills : she truly cares about people. No doubt Sofia is a real asset for any company or organization. I would be pleased to work again with Sofia.
Thomas Tilmant
Finding a person like Sofia on your work life path is like finding a gem in the desert! I worked directly for Sofia in the private equity/FO business, but soon realised I was part of a team and worked with Sofia towards achieving goals. What impressed me more is her energy, ability to handle vast and multiple projects almost effortlessly and always with a smile and a very swedish sense of humour. Sincerely, Thomas Tilmant
