Sophie, what’s your journey? What’s your background?
I come from finance. I’ve spent the past decade working across the whole investment spectrum – venture, growth and buyout, both on the LP and GP side. People sometimes say I’m a Swiss army knife because I’ve worked in so many parts of the investment chain.
