About Sophie

With a First Class Honours BSc in Cellular and Molecular Biology from the University of Exeter, Sophie co-founded the Exeter MedTech and BioPharma Society while at university, focused on widening access to careers and professional networks in the commercial life sciences.

She began her career in business development with life science start-ups, building the start-up exhibition at the BioTechX international conference, before moving into capital raising for UCITS funds across a range of asset classes.

Leading investor origination, outreach and the seed capital raise for an Emerging Market Debt strategy, Sophie raised capital from institutional investors across Europe ahead of its launch in August 2026.

Motivated by connecting capital with founders building companies that make a lasting difference, Sophie joins Future Planet Capital to build LP origination and capital raising across the firm’s funds, while supporting investor relations and strategic marketing.
