Sofia (Sophie) Azam is an ex-Government Education Regulator with a passion for alternative learning and training that is accessible for all sections of society.
Having spent nearly 5 years within education regulation and over 8 years in education consultancy regulating vocational courses, Sofia went onto set-up three start-ups that provide cutting edge educational initiatives and products to equip young entrepreneurs, new start-up founders and innovators with the right skills, knowledge and traits to succeed in their business aspirations.
Sofia is the Founder of Skills4Startupse (S4S) – UK’s first mobile business school that produces high-impact roadshows and interactive skills-centric workshops to give founders the best chance to grow their businesses and remain financially sustainable. Sofia believes that key skills underpinned by educational standards can truly empower the start-up community to fulfill their business ambitions.
Sofia is on a 10-year journey to advocate for ALL start-ups to dare to innovate without the risk of failure at early inception, by learning from each other as a circular economy.
Finally, Sofia has also set-up a new digital network hub for start-ups (EduEco+) that will be providing on-demand learning tools for new and experienced start-up founders in 2025. This virtual system will help start-ups to progress successfully in their business journeys.
