We’ll be building upon my experience in immersive technology and Xi’s already impressive international client list, carrying across successful British campaigns and creating unique experiences for the American market.’
‘Sophie is the perfect lead for Xi in the United States,’ says Dan Strang, Chairman & Founder. ‘Sophie brings energy, creativity and artistic flair to everything she does, and will support our US customers throughout their experiential tech journey.’
