Advisory & Strategic Engagements

The Sovereign Strategy Suite™

For over two decades, Sophia has bridged global technology policy and corporate strategy.  Today, this expertise is focused through three distinct lenses — her proprietary architecture for executives navigating complexity, competition, and geopolitical flux.

🔹 Sovereignty-as-a-Service ™

A strategic shield for organizations seeking autonomy in an era of volatile supply chains, shifting regulations, and algorithmic exposure.
SaaSx equips leadership with the architectures, controls, and guardrails required to operate securely and competitively across borders.

Core Functions:

  • AI governance blueprints & responsible AI integration

  • Data sovereignty frameworks and cross-border trust design

  • Vendor risk, infrastructure mapping & independence strategy

  • Compliance-by-design implementation

  • National and continental digital alignment

🔹 Sovereignty Score™

A proprietary diagnostic that reveals an organization’s resilience across technology, cyber-risk, governance, and geopolitical pressure points.
The Score is the compass that measures readiness, maturity, and institutional integrity.

Evaluates:

  • AI risk exposure & model governance

  • Cybersecurity posture & third-party dependencies

  • Regulatory & geopolitical vulnerability

  • Infrastructure sovereignty & data lifecycle control

  • Organizational trust, transparency & integrity signals

A board-level strategic advisory practice supporting leaders navigating transformation, growth, policy shifts, and market reconstruction.
