Bio
Nic Silva
Sophie was my Drift CSM while I was grew a RevOps team at Procore. During our time working together, Sophie consistently impressed me with her client dedication and communication. She often went above and beyond what we asked as a client, and always provided us with timely, clear, and forward thinking insights. I think one of Sophie's biggest strengths was being able to build strong client relationships by ensuring not only immediate goals were being met, but by focusing on the long-term success and presenting herself as a partner to the business. Her adept problem-solving and proactive mindset made her an asset to driving client satisfaction and operational efficiency. I'm confident Sophie's ability to meaningfully contribute and to excel in any enterprise team, and would love to work with Sophie again in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Sophie through cross-functional process development. The standard she sets as a customer success professional will be one that I judge all future customer success professionals by. She has a knack for establishing meaningful relationship with her customers, creating alignment between multiple teams to advocate for her customers without compromising on Company performance, and extremely data driven. I can’t recommend Sophie highly enough and would be an honor to work with her again
