Turns out, even the CEO has a boss. 🐾😂

Meet Sofi, the four-legged executive keeping TIA CEO Dick Gust on track. And judging by the glasses, suit and very official list of priorities, she takes her responsibilities *very* seriously.

Her leadership philosophy? Keep the team focused, make the big decisions and never schedule a meeting during treat time.

Dick may have the CEO title, but we know Sofi has the final say around the office. 😉
