“I worked closely with Sophie in 2020 when we jointly led the scoping and design for Power to Change's medium term response to Covid-19 for community business.It was a pleasure working with Sophie. She is immediately open, very collaborative and level headed. I was thankful for her calm even when things needed to move at pace and deadlines schedules were demanding.I particularly valued her commitment to consulting significantly to build up an understanding of many perspectives to inform strategic priorities. I benefitted from Sophie's deep understanding of the social economy in England, its actors and their interests, and the way she thinks about how to leverage change in the market by partnering as a catalyst.”
Alexis Morcrette
Head of Growth Programmes, Power to Change
“Sophie is superb manager and great colleague to work with. She combines a no-nonsense approach to getting things done with a deep insight into the motivation of others. She is comfortable working in situations of considerable uncertainty and this has informed her leadership of the market development team at Power to Change. Under Sophie's direction the team has flourished and laid the foundations for Power to Change's future success.On a personal level, I have benefited enormously from Sophie's wisdom and her calm approach to whatever calamity arises. It has been an absolute pleasure working with her for the last five years and I would work with her again at the drop of a hat.”

“Having worked with Sophie for a few years, I have seen first hand how she approaches the most complex or ambiguous of challenges with calm and competency. Her coaching skills are excellent and help staff or stakeholders get to the nub of an issue. Her project management expertise cuts through the fog to bring light, clear direction and success to any project. She is strategic, focused on impact and a pleasure to work with.”
