About Sophie
Sophie De Ferranti is a partner in Caldwell’s Technology Practice, and a member of the London and New York offices.
Sophie has market-leading expertise in placing executives of the highest level in cybersecurity, AI, digital transformation and information security for clients across the professional services, technology, SaaS, financial services, healthcare, defence and consumer industries.
Cyber risk has been increasing in recent years as organisations embrace digitalisation, catalysed by a global pandemic and emerging geopolitical stress factors. The adoption of artificial intelligence and regulatory change is fuelling the need for more seasoned cybersecurity experts and in a global landscape experiencing a talent deficit. Sophie advises C-suite executives and board members on their organisation’s cyber and AI risk posture from a people advisory perspective and helps build diverse and inclusive teams. Highly entrepreneurial in her approach to executive search, she is passionate about promoting female leaders, and brings a forward-thinking, holistic approach to global people advisory solutions.
Experience
Prior to joining Caldwell, Sophie spent 25 years in senior leadership positions at global executive search and specialist consulting firms in Singapore, New York, London and Zurich. In her earlier career she held a high security UN classified role at the NATO Headquarters in Brussels. As of 2024, Sophie became an Advisory Board member to Cydalics in Brisbane, Australia and Cybnsure in California. She is also a member of the Global Council for Responsible AI and appointed Governor for Argentina.
