"Sometimes it’s important to take a pause and take some time off to bring your best self." - Sophie Weersink-Thirion, Vice President and Head of Market Unit Manufacturing Life Science Tech Media Telecomms Although Sophie finds skating fascinating, her comfort space is in her attic, where one can find her creating graffitis and oil paintings.
