Sophia is a standout product person and manager. I recruited her into the men's brands team at Asos and worked with her for over a year. During that time I was impressed by Sophia's ability to manage up and down, her organisation and efficiency, and her positive and friendly attitude which made her so popular with both her team and management. Sophia would be an asset to any organisation.
