Sophia has authored and co‑authored several publications on impact investing, including work on endowment strategy, wealth management and the use of catalytic capital for a just transition.
Before joining the Institute, Sophia held policy and research roles in international development and worked at an early‑stage impact EdTech start‑up focused on environmental education. She holds a BA in English Language and Literature from King’s College London and a CFA UK Certificate in Impact and Impact Investing.
