In this third People pioneers in action episode, I speak to the wonderful Sophie Amato, Head of People and Culture at Social Value Portal.
Sophie has worked as a People leader in start-ups and scale-ups for over ten years, including roles at Talentful, VouchedFor and Monolith AI. She is currently Head of People and Culture at Social Value Portal, a platform that engages, enables and empowers people and organisations to work together in the pursuit of social, economic and environmental wellbeing. Sophie's passion is to nurture and empower the talent that fuels thriving companies.
