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.
