In Sophia's own words

As the founder of Bloom Careers, I partner with visionary beauty and wellness brands to identify, engage, and place exceptional leadership talent. My recruitment philosophy is built on integrity, empathy, and results. I cultivate long-term relationships that strengthen businesses from within. I work closely with founders, C-suite leaders, and private equity partners to shape teams that elevate brands and fuel growth. Strategic Focus: Specialising in senior, director, and board-level roles across Marketing, Operational, and Commercial leadership in the beauty and wellness sector. Reputation-Led Growth: Over 90% of my business comes from referrals and repeat clients, a testament to Bloom s outstanding service. Collaborative & Discreet: Whether working on retained executive searches or time-sensitive contingency briefs, I offer a responsive, high-integrity service tailored to each brand s voice and goals. Industry Immersed: With a deep network aellness landscape, I connect with the leaders shaping the industry, emerging disruptors to iconic names alike. Mission-Driven Talent: I place people who believe in what your brand stands for, not just what it sells. Purposeful hiring creates enduring impact. Life Outside Work: I'm a proud mum to a hilarious, strong-willed three-year-old who is convinced his bed is lava. Life is a mix of early mornings, cuddles, dinosaurs or stepping on bits of Lego. (And lots of caffeine) It s a bit chaotic but always full of love and keeps me
