Glenn Melton, LSSBB

Sara is detail oriented, does what she says shes going to and delivers above and beyond. She delights her clients and business partners in the way she elegantly achieves solutions to complex problems and tasks. Sara is an exceptionally good listener; which for me is the most important communication tool one can have. I have worked with Sara on several IT talent search efforts and have always been delighted with the results. She is alot of fun too!

Sara is a very focused, supportive, reliable and organized, I had the chance to work with Sara for several months while on contract for Expedia; I was later on hired full time, and I can say that Sara was fully supportive from start to finish. I would be happy to endorse her anytime!

We are building predictive brandtech to allow Brand’s to navigate towards and continuously exploit whitespace growth. Our always-on tool is aptly named Brand Navigator, which helps you find your way in the tumultuous, changing, and vast ocean of business decisions. Our difference: we are not survey-based, which is still slow, directional, and biased. Instead, we have the data we need, we are accessible by nearly every single brand on the planet regardless of size or category, we have a frictionless sales and onboarding process, and our underlying data assets are being built with the vision to power lines of business outside of the branding space for rapid expansion in our later years. As the leader of the People Strategy at BlueOcean, DEI is at the core of all that we do. We institute functional, agile, and ever-evolving people programming as a Series B SaaS company.
