about sophie
Sophie holds a degree in law from the University of Geneva and has worked as a lawyer since 1995. After working in a law office focused on criminal law at the Geneva bar, she has worked as a legal counsel for an asset management company and several Geneva based banks. Fluent in English, French, Italian and German, she then joined a different investment management company, part of a banking group in Geneva, as an investor relations manager and counsel.
However, she always had a passion for cars, arts and photography that her father handed her down.
Therefore, she definitely left her briefcase in August 2005 for her camera and paintbrush to pace up and down the racing tracks.
Besides her passion for the very masculine car environment, she also takes much interest in comics and mangas that allow her in particular to express her artist impression about life, women and heroes.
As an enthusiastic person, she is always on the go and in motion. Therefore, her different works of art are brightly colored and dynamic. Her credo : one must take a good bite out of this life !
