Sophia Adio's Linkedin Analytics

I turn overlooked talent into undeniable presence. Born in Nigeria, I carry the vibrant spirit and resilience of my homeland. As a teenager, I moved to the UK, where I completed my bachelor’s degree before pursuing another move to Canada to further my business education and an MBA specializing in artificial intelligence. My career began with a natural progression as a student adviser after graduating from college, where I discovered a natural gift for guiding others through complex systems. Yet, I knew I was meant to do more. I made a bold pivot into the world of IT, driven by curiosity and a desire to challenge myself. The transition wasn’t easy. As a minority entering a field where few looked like me, I faced barriers that could have broken my confidence. But each obstacle only sharpened my resolve. I rose from entry-level roles to become a Solutions Architect and, after that, a Senior Cloud Architect. I am a testament to the fact that, against all odds, you can achieve all you set your mind to; you just need the right mindset. But what transformed my career wasn’t just technical skill; it was realizing that AI isn’t the what; it’s the how. By integrating AI tools into my daily work, I positioned myself ahead of the curve. In rooms where I was often the only woman, my fluency in emerging tech became my edge. Today, I use my lived experience and AI expertise to coach women of colour, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, to step boldly into spaces that weren’t built with them in mind. I teach them how to harness the same tools that accelerated my journey, so they’re not just part of the future of work—they’re shaping it. I know firsthand that confidence isn’t always given—it’s claimed. And I’m here to help ambitious women of colour claim theirs, through the powerful fusion of mindset transformation, power moves and technological empowerment.
