About

Sofia handles high-net-worth clients from around the globe. She launched her career at a Dubai-based brokerage managing complex passenger and cargo charter flights across Europe, Africa, MENA, and North America. Her deep compliance knowledge is your legal shield — she knows the regulatory frameworks inside out and ensures every deal is airtight. At ABP, Sofia teaches the legal foundations that separate professional brokers from amateurs.

The difference between a professional broker and an amateur is knowing the regulations inside out. Gray charters put lives at risk — education is the first line of defense. Your compliance knowledge is your client's safety net.

Teaching Philosophy

Compliance isn't a barrier to business — it's the foundation of trust. Every broker must understand the legal framework that protects clients, operators, and the industry as a whole. The broker who knows the regulations inside out is the one clients trust with their lives.
