“Sophie is a well-established and highly-regarded learning leader in the industry. We are thrilled to welcome her to Konexo to lead on this newly created proposition that is already in high demand from clients.

“Our clients are facing an ever-changing regulatory and legal landscape and Sophie is already familiar with their challenges and the solutions to them. Her extensive experience provides yet another way we can help clients meet the compliance demands upon them and I am looking forward to working with her.”

Sophie Espinasse, Head of Client Learning, Konexo said:

“I’m delighted to be joining the Konexo team. I will be providing end-to-end, bespoke solutions that focus not only on regulatory change, but also cultural evolution to enhance individual and team performance.

“I’m looking forward to working at Konexo, especially with a team that is so talented and well respected in the industry.”
