Since joining Smycles as a Business Development Manager in July 2025, Sophie Hartmann has been driven by one goal: bringing together people who not only complement each other professionally but also connect on a human level. At Smycles, she helps redefine how high-performing teams are built by developing an AI-powered matching platform that considers not just skills and experience, but also values, motivation, and personality.

With a background spanning product & business development, marketing management, learning design, and organizational change management, Sophie bridges people, culture, technology, and learning to unlock the full potential of teams. Before Smycles, she worked as a Corporate Learning Consultant at Brights, led the Academy of the German SAP User Group (DSAG) and worked as a Marketing & Communications Specialist & eLearning Designer at the Digital Leaders Institute. Her guiding principle in all her roles is: “Only those who swim against the current reach the source.”
