In this episode of Revenue Career Ladder, Sophie Buonassisi shares the story of a career built not by rigid planning, but by following curiosity, leaning into experimentation, and saying yes to what felt right—even when it didn’t make obvious sense on paper.From working in public policy and waitressing in Vancouver to building growth strategies for SaaS companies and eventually landing in venture capital at GTMfund, Sophie’s path is a testament to the power of building skills horizontally and trusting the long game. She unpacks how qualitative feedback, self-led learning, and side projects helped her navigate turning points—and why she now sees her career as a feedback loop, not a ladder.This episode is full of grounded insights for anyone wondering how to stay curious, pivot with purpose, and craft a career that reflects who they are—not just what they do.Expect to learn:Why your “parallel track” outside of work can be your biggest assetHow to use experimentation and qualitative feedback to shape your next career moveWhat working in public policy taught Sophie about complex stakeholder alignmentHow Sophie built a name in SaaS by operating at the intersection of growth and strategyWhat GTMfund is really about—and how they blend community, content, and capitalWhy treating your career like a funnel helps you optimise for fit, not just titlesWatch on Stream by Dealfront: https://www.dealfront.com/resources/stream/series/revenue-career-ladder/Follow Sophie Buonassisi: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sophiebuonassisi/Follow Jamie Pagan: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamiepagan/Connect with us: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/dealfront/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/getdealfront/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/getdealfront/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dealfrontX: https://x.com/getdealfrontYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dealfront
