About Sofia
I teach managers and executives how to make sound decisions about AI without needing to become engineers. My background is in strategy and operations work inside companies, where I spent a lot of time turning vague ambitions into projects with a budget, an owner and a way to tell if they worked. I teach with real decisions: a use case on the table, a cost estimate, a pilot plan. I ask a lot of questions, I push back on numbers nobody can explain, and I am comfortable saying that the best AI project this quarter might be none at all.

What students said about Sofia's tutors.
- Kwame A.Sample
Good structure and very even handed. I would have liked a worked example closer to manufacturing, but the memo template is now in our shared drive.
- Gerhard W.Sample
Short, direct and free of buzzwords. The three sentence stance exercise was what I needed before my leadership offsite.
- Ines V.Sample
The cost of ownership table changed our conversation. We had compared a licence to API usage only and forgot the engineer's time completely.
- Ravi M.Sample
Solid method, though slow going for someone who already does business cases daily. The part on unpriced benefits was the most useful bit for me.
- Oluwaseun B.Sample
The sensitivity check showed that one assumption, the share of tickets AI can help with, drove everything. Now that is the thing our pilot measures.
- Ana P.Sample
Finally someone who explains staggered rollouts without a statistics lecture. Our next rollout is designed this way and the analytics team is on board.
