Kevin Sinnott, Sonder's Managing Director, expressed his enthusiasm for Elizabeths arrival, saying:
"Elizabeth is another great addition to our New York office, and we are very excited to have her here with us. Elizabeth joins Sonder following a very successful career as a lawyer working within some of the world's most elite law firms, and I have no doubt Elizabeth has an exciting career in front of her in the world of legal recruitment."
Jonathan Taylor, Sonder's London Director, added:
"Elizabeth's drive, motivation, and engaging personality will make her a very successful recruiter in the New York market and she will be a key asset to our team.
After several significant achievements in her career as a lawyer, Elizabeth opted for a new career direction after realizing her passion for consulting and discovering the opportunities a career in recruitment could present from a personal and professional perspective.
Elizabeth is eager to get started and contribute to the continued success of Sonder Consultants. Her comments on the move are as follows:

I'm excited to draw on my personal experience to guide candidates through her search and facilitate her transition into new roles."
Sonder's New York team has over doubled in size in the past year.
