Sophie joined Compass from the position of Chief Human Resources Officer, leading the People function for BW Group, a global maritime and sustainable technology company, based in Singapore.
Prior to that, she spent time at Experian as HR Director for Asia Pacific and Europe, and held leadership roles at Rolls- Royce, 3i, and NatWest.
Originally from Newcastle, she now lives in Kent with her husband and two children. When Sophie isn’t spending time with her family, she likes to be active, whether that be running, taking part in fitness events, or walking in the Lake District. Her favourite meal is a tasty lasagna followed by a sticky toffee pudding!
