Colleagues describe her as "I have worked with Sofia for 1 year now at IBM within the Cognitiva Strategic Partnership project. Sofia is the focal point linking the IBM organization with the Cognitiva's, our strategic partnership in Latin America. She has a deep understanding of how IBM works and strong personal and direct relationship with everybody in Cognitiva. This allowed her to solve problems of different nature, like organizing enablement sessions across different countries, negotiating free software for Cognitiva with IBM offering managers and leading more technical activities like the porting of Watson to Spanish. Her contribution was fundamental to foster the knowledge of Watson within the Cognitiva organization, that spread across the whole Latin American market. Also, her hands-on approach helped speeding up complex process, like when she went to Costa Rica with no notice to make sure each one of the 5 Cognitiva's legal entities would be registered as IBM Business Partners to meet end of the year sales targets. Not only she has a great determination, but also she is great with people, she can build solid and positive relationships and get others to help her. I enjoyed working with her: she a professional that knows how to create a great mood in the team. I am sure she will be a great resource for IBM in the future.", "Sofia was our Summer Intern in 2014. This is my 4th year to have a Summer Intern. I've learned a few things. If we pick well, our Interns will be smart, creative and good communicators. Sofia was all 3 of these. In fact, she learned IBM faster than anyone I've seen... was very industrious when faced with strange and frustrating roadblocks... and communicated (even escalated) very well. That said, the genuine differentiator in Sofia is her work ethic. My experience is that this generation isn't naturally geared to work hard, and being an Intern is challenging. It's easy to work smart/fast and then to have "nothing to do". Sofia worked this job hard. When she finished her assigned work, she dug deeper and found other, more valuable, ways to make a contribution. As a professional manager, I've learned that hard work is the key difference maker for success. No matter what the profession. Those who apply themselves and put in the hours and effort, ultimately succeed. I can't make a higher recommendation than for Sofia. We miss her on this Team. Well done Sofia!", and "Sofia has been an asset to our intern program. In addition to completing two semesters on our Research and Evaluation team, she has participated and contributed to every additional opportunity we've provided. Sofia fundraised for LIVESTRONG, she made a video for LIVESTRONG Day, and she volunteered at our first ever Marathon Relay - cheering on runners at the toughest part of the event. She helped with intern recruitment by staffing a booth at a recruitment fair, and has been such a great supporter of our cause. Sofia is an energetic team player who is up for any challenge. I can't wait to see what she accomplishes in the future."
