Sophie bridges the gap between HR and Finance here at TudorMay. We recently sat down with her to talk about her unique dual role, how she stays organized, and how her passion for running influences her career.

Here is what she had to share:

On connecting the “people” and “numbers” of the business: “𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐇𝐑 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧: 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤.
