About Sophie
Originally from Belfast, Sophie moved to Cardiff for University and decided to return to Wales after a year out where she spent a few months in California, traveled Asia and worked in New Zealand. She then started her career in recruitment where she spent two and a half years in an agency before joining DevOpsGroup in November 2017.
After spending 2 years in the People team Sophie started to get involved in the social media and events within DOG. She quickly realised this was an area she really enjoyed and wanted to dive into which led her to start forging a career into marketing by developing her knowledge with courses and practical exercises. Sophie has now joined the Partner, Product, and Marketing team as a Product Marketing Executive.
Sophie is passionate about people. She loves to socialise and engage with people which is why a role in recruitment suited her for so many years. Moving into a marketing role has helped her utilise her communication skills and put them into practice in different areas as well as allowing her to constantly upskill in a new role.
One day, Sophie aspires to have unlimited holidays and travel the world… or own a vineyard in the South of France.
