“Sarah is a force to be reckoned with. We worked together on a strategy to bring innovation to a large corporate, back when engagement by the corporate with startups was still very nascent. I saw first hand, Sarah’s strategic thinking combined with excellent execution ability, her deep diligence in evaluating investments combined with top relationship management – which frankly, is a profile hard to come by. 

She is one that is able to look at a problem set, maneuver any framework, manage stakeholders, and come to a solution that everyone around the table can then back. She is a leader, and I’m confident, will do great things.”
