TESTIMONIALS
Sonia was a fearless leader on behalf of her European markets. She is articulate, knowledgeable, insightful and always well prepared. Her experience across markets and in being able to drive towards consensus is a rare and valuable talent and value add for any organization.
Elana Drell-Szyfer, CEO RéVive Skincare
Sonia and I, as Partners of Sevendots, have worked on multiple strategic Consulting projects for major MNCs in the field of Beauty and Luxury. Sonia is a dedicated professional of international marketing and strategy whom I trust and respect. In addition to her profound knowledge of global consumer trends and behavior towards Beauty, her traits as an articulated cross-cultural communicator and a detail-oriented, quick, yet powerful executor have always added enormous value to every project she and I have worked on. Sonia knows how a MNC has to manage cultural sensitivities in developing local businesses while keeping globally consistent strategies, thanks to her extensive business experiences in multiple countries/regions in both the corporate world and the consulting arena. I believe that this is one of the most important assets for any global leader in the current semi-globalized world market. For these reasons, I can recommend Sonia to any global business, either as a senior management member or senior management consultant. Last but not least, Sonia is a great internationally-minded team worker I’ve always enjoyed to work with for our multi-national projects.
