Sofie holds a master degree in international politics. She kick-started her career advising companies on their commuting policy. Sofie is a firm believer in the power of thoughtful, committed citizens to change the world and organised some of Brussels biggest climate marches as coordinator of Climate Express, Belgium's first citizen climate movement.

A native of Belgium, Sofie swears by the ‘Burgundian lifestyle’ of good food and wine. She clears her mind by reading or going for a run or bike ride.
