What led you to this role?
I had become disenchanted within my previous roles as they were not living up to my personal values or engaging our customers in a way that focused on mutual respect and trust. A Recruiter from Sopra Steria, Josh, reached out to me and fortunately I accepted his request for a chat which led to some rounds of conversations with existing employees. As the conversations progressed, I became more assured that this was a place I could work, add value, be myself and give back. I was not wrong, and I now happily lead a team of brilliant consultants that inspire me regularly.
What do you think makes Sopra Steria different to other companies in the industry?
I liken Sopra Steria to a boutique organisation in relation to the feeling I get around how we look after our people. We recognise that these are our assets, our differentiator and our future and, developing and nurturing this asset makes us stand out from other competitors.
