About Sophia
I help businesses and professionals achieve growth by combining business development expertise with actuarial training and a strong network in the London insurance market. Whether you require new revenue strategies, market entry support, or tailored coaching, I bring analytical rigour and industry insight to every project.
What makes me stand out is my cross‑border experience across the UK and France, spanning insurance, politics, research, and education. This diverse background enables me to deliver solutions that are both strategic and practical, while also offering CV reviews, career coaching, and interview preparation to support individuals at key stages of their careers.
Typical projects I undertake include:
- Business plans and growth strategies for SMEs and start‑ups
- Market research and opportunity analysis in insurance and related sectors
- CV reviews, university application support, and interview coaching
- Health policy and longevity research, drawing on prior work with Polygeia and Royal London
By blending industry expertise, multilingual communication (English, French, Spanish), and coaching skills, I provide deliverables that drive external growth for your business and internal development for your team.
