Her experience in cost management and project strategy complements the firm's commitment to quality and client-needing focused service to our clients.

Looking forward, Sophia states her intention to incorporate innovations and adding value to the hotel sector.

"We are looking at delivering innovation around maximising cost structures and operating efficiencies," she said, "and I want to help establish Pulse as an established leading consultancy for hotel projects in the UK, ensuring we create a measurable impact for our clients on each and every project."
