Ann-Sophie Blank

Hello there, I'm Sophie, a Career Coach & Product Manager.

I'm originally from Germany and moved to London in 2013, where I've worked for over 10 years now. In 2022 my job got a bit boring and I decided to take part in a Data Science BootCamp to challenge myself and get deeper into the tech world. I mainly work on B2C Products (the most recent one I worked on as Product Lead had 34 million users). I'm also a Professional Fellow with the World Economic Forum where I research how Fortune 500 companies are planning on adopting GenAI. My most recent paper is on the use of responsible AI.

My mentees are usually expats who are either looking to get started in the tech world or are looking to transition into tech. My mentoring style is focused on conversation and asking focused questions, usually with 1-2 small tasks to complete before our next session.

If you're interested in starting a mentorship, I would love to jump on a 15-minute call with you! It's important that we both feel comfortable with each other so that you can get the most out of the mentorship.

I won the University of London Professional Mentoring Award in 2023. This is what some of my past mentees say about me:

❤️ "Being mentored by Sophie has meant the world to me. It has been an incredibly meaningful and enriching experience that has had a profound impact on my personal and professional life. Her mentorship has provided me with a sense of guidance, support, and encouragement. Knowing that I have a trusted mentor who genuinely cares about my success has been both motivating and inspiring. Her belief in my potential has boosted my confidence and encouraged me to aim higher in pursuing my goals."
