Before Sofia started working for us, we felt like we had a big mountain to climb to launch our restaurant/events space. Being completely new to us, we were very eager to find someone who had the expertise to help us through all of the stages of problem solving, setting up a structure to the company and the big task of employment.

What made Sofia the most invaluable person we hired, was her ability to know the brand, its mission and philosophy better than anyone else. Even better than us! She was immensely passionate and meticulous when it came to launching each department, always giving her full commitment whilst being extremely flexible. Nothing ever felt impossible.

The best part of working with Sofia was how personable she was, she really got to know everyone employed and encouraged them to do their best. She was the most uplifting energy to have around, things just got accomplished in the most professional way with her organised slick work ethic.
