CLIENTS
Meet some of the game changers we've worked with...
Working with SOPEOPLE was the first time I’ve experienced People professionals comfortably talking numbers - they did so as comfortably as they were talking HR/People practce, neuroscience and psychology.
They showed a rare ability to link engagement to margin, wellbeing to productivity, and structure to shareholder value, without ever losing sight of the human story underneath.
When we needed to tighten performance and extend runway, they built people strategies that drove results without driving burnout. They also challenged assumptions with data, not dogma, and created genuine alignment between finance and culture.
In my view, they've redefined what strategic HR should look like in a growth-stage business.

Chief Financial Officer in SaaS
Sue has an exceptional ability to stay completely in tune with my needs and the needs of my leadership team. She never loses sight of the people and the customer, while always balancing the commercial realities of any solution. That combination is rare, and invaluable.
What impressed me most is her curiosity and forward-thinking approach. Sue doesn’t just take requests; she digs deeper to uncover what’s really getting in the way. Then she designs solutions that make sense for the business, often bringing digital tools and approaches that fit our specific needs, not generic answers.
Through tailored assessments, leadership diagnostics, and targeted interventions, Sue ensures development drives both performance and retention. If you want someone who can align people, culture, and commercial outcomes seamlessly, Sue and SOPeople deliver exactly that.
Dave Fawcett
Chief Commercial Officer in Supply Chain
They changed how we thought about People, full stop. They brought clarity and courage to conversations that most leadership teams avoid (the people-y ones!)
What impressed me most wasn’t just their leevl of empathy, but their commerciality. They could connect something as intangible as culture to something as measurable as delivery, retention, or customer satisfaction. Better yet, they made it stick!
When we restructured the organisation and rebuilt our entire global leadership operating model, SOPEOPLE made sure we didn’t just shuffle deck chairs; we redefined how work actually feels and flows. The result was an organisation that was faster, clearer and, frankly, more human, and at a better price point.
In short, they didn’t "do HR”, they helped us build a sustainable, people-focused business.

Chief Operating Officer in EdTech
Sue consistently demonstrated an exceptional ability to combine strategic innovation with practical execution. She is not only a source of fresh ideas but a true partner who challenges assumptions and drives meaningful outcomes.
Sue excels in navigating complex organizational dynamics with resilience and composure. Her expertise in interpreting employee feedback (through surveys, focus groups, and listening programs) enables leadership teams to uncover critical insights and translate them into actionable strategies. The results are tangible: Cultural transformation and measurable business impact.
Beyond her technical expertise in People and Talent strategies, Sue brings energy, professionalism, and intellectual rigour to every engagement. She fosters thought-provoking dialogue and creates an environment that makes collaboration both productive and enjoyable.
I confidently recommend SOPEOPLE to any organisation seeking a trusted advisor who can shape thinking, deliver sustainable change, and turn feedback into results.
