About Sofie Leon
I am a collaborative leader who values courageous integrity. I leverage my Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) expertise and rigorous technical background to create change and empower individuals. I lead with a management style characterized by transparency, commitment to the professional development of my team, and the ability to create partnerships and collaborations across the organization. The translational skills I developed while completing my PhD in engineering are important to every project and new challenge I pursue. Thanks to my technical training, I am comfortable with unknown and am confident in my abilities to learn anything new that comes my way.I have earned a professional reputation as an agent of positive change, and I am excited to continue to build on that reputation throughout my career journey.
