Scaling AI Responsibly for Global Enterprises: In this flagship project, Sophia led a multi-year initiative for a Fortune 500 company that moved them from experimental AI pilot programmes into fully scaled business applications. She oversaw cross-functional teams in data, engineering, legal, compliance and product, ensuring ethical frameworks were embedded, ROI metrics defined, and user impact tracked. The result: a 50% efficiency improvement, new revenue streams in under 18 months, and a risk governance model that has since become a blueprint for peer organisations tackling AI scale-ups.
