Sofia specialises in helping companies unlock the full potential of their innovation through R&D tax relief, grants and patents. Her role involves identifying and nurturing new opportunities, strengthening client relationships and collaborating with referral partners to expand Kene’s reach. She loves hearing about clients’ cutting-edge projects and working closely with the Consulting Team to reward their innovations.

With a BA in International Relations, Sofia previously worked at a leading Insurtech start-up before joining us. Fluent in three languages, she has worked across a broad range of industries, from software to manufacturing, but has a particular passion for supporting companies that prioritise sustainability and environmental innovation.

One of her proudest projects was working with Plai, a multi-reality studio pioneering extended reality and interactive worlds. The client had previously struggled with their R&D tax relief provider, often chasing them for updates. Sofia and the team turned the process around – delivering a smoother, more efficient experience and securing them a significantly larger tax rebate than they had received before.

Outside of work, Sofia is captain of her football team and is always on the lookout for new hobbies around London. In recent years, she’s taken on a stand-up comedy course, a furniture-making workshop and even a few coding courses – because why settle for just one hobbie?
