Feedback

From startup leaders to Fortune 500 executives, here's what clients and colleagues say about our collaboration.

"I've worked with Sara for 10+ years; we've launched global brands together and led brand-to-demand campaigns to drive business growth. When I have a complex problem and don't know where to start, Sara is the 'parachute' I call to save the day.

Sara has a unique talent for distilling complex, disparate information into clear strategic direction. Perhaps what makes Sara so indispensable is that she is equally brilliant at strategy AND execution -- very rarely do you find someone who can do both so exceptionally well."

Elena Kennedy

Brand Marketing Director, DISCO

"Sara and I worked closely on many projects during a time of major transition -- the largest separation in corporate history.

We worked especially closely to document the amazing story of a corporate transition and creation of a brand and business serving 120 countries and with 250,000 employees on day 1.

Sara was able to identify the important and help craft an interesting and impactful story that we could all tell.”

Jean Brandolini Lamb

Former Head of Brand, HPE

"Sara is one of the best communications managers I have come across.

She understands the subject matter and contributes to discussions pertaining to the business. She is self sufficient in creating communications and marketing collateral. She is also able to anticipate the needs of the organization and take proactive actions."

Saum Mathur

CIO, HP Software

"In an environment with exacting standards, she always delivered above and beyond expectations.

In short, Sara is a joy to work with and is a valuable asset to any team or project
."
