So, turning her back to what one would call a much safer zone to work, she decided to move back to turmoil Greece, reuniting with old research colleagues. Sofia has been working in market research companies, both in Greece and the UK for 17 years, servicing international clients from LATAM to Asia, with strong expertise in healthcare research.
