Phaedra Boinodiris
Sophia is a brilliant technology strategist. In fact, she is easily the most talented technology strategist I know. She has several super powers including her ability to research a complex, politically-fraught problem to the nth degree, and then clearly relay a strategy for growth. I know we are all going to end up working for Sophia one day as she is a natural-born leader. She is passionately driven to provide the best value for clients and is an inspired advocate. I gladly and wholeheartedly recommend her for any position that requires guts.
