Electra’s Post

From law to e-mobility, Sophia Carter’s path has been anything but linear ! Since Sophia is often traveling between countries, she’s frequently seen with her suitcase. So we imagined what might be inside! 🧳 After starting her career as a corporate lawyer, she brought her strategic mindset to the EV charging world, working with key players across Europe before joining Electra in 2024 as Roaming Manager. La French Tech Mission and its network are partnering to highlight the women who are making French Tech happen, in France and the rest of the world. What triggered your interest in tech? “My passion for tech started with a personal challenge: being able to charge my EV far from home without running out of battery. While searching for internships, I noticed that several companies were tackling this exact issue. I saw an opportunity to combine my legal and commercial skills to help, and that’s how it all began !” The thing you’re most proud of? "Changing countries, languages, industries, and roles in just a few years isn’t easy. Looking back, I’m proud of how far I’ve come — from junior lawyer to partnerships professional at Electra, without a set roadmap. I hope this journey encourages other women to take the leap too 💪 !” What is your wildest career goal? “I’m excited by the incredible innovations emerging in energy. If a sustainable, reliable way to cut energy production costs, without relying on fuels or minerals, ever becomes reality, I’d love to help bring it to Electra… and eventually, to the world. 💭" If you could go back in time, is there anything you would do differently? “I am a strong believer that everything happens for a reason. I am deeply grateful for all of challenges and opportunities that I have encountered along the way - they were all necessary so that I could arrive at the amazing stage in life that I am currently at now.”
