“Sophie is the kind of speaker who moves a conversation forward. She has the rare ability to make complex information land clearly for a mixed audience. She was rigorous in her preparation, generously shared ideas and presented provocative arguments convincingly. It is a pleasure to work with her.”  Sam Turner, Architect and CEO of Buildometric — Moderator, UK Construction Week panel 2026
