Bio
Kimberly Lyddane Katzman
If you’re looking to work with someone who can help you reach your full potential, Sarah is that person. I’ve worked with Sarah for years, and she has played an integral role in helping me develop professionally. She is not just someone I have always looked up to, but also someone who I have always felt comfortable going to for advice. Sarah did more than just coach me. She supported me every step of the way and never hesitated to lend a helping hand. Even when Sarah was promoted, I still always felt valued and heard. It has been an honor to work for Sarah, and anyone would be lucky to work with her.

I have had the pleasure of working with Sarah for several years and can confidently say that she is an exceptional manager and mentor. Sarah is an extremely good listener, always taking the time to understand the perspectives and concerns of those around her. Her ability to articulate complex ideas and concepts is truly impressive, making her a valuable asset to any team. Sarah’s positivity and leadership has changed my outlook on communication, interpersonal relationships and work ethic. What truly sets Sarah apart, however, is her insatiable curiosity. She is always eager to learn more and expand her knowledge base, and this passion for learning is contagious. Sarah's dedication to her team and her role as a people manager is evident in everything she does, and I have no doubt that she would excel in any leadership position. I would highly recommend Sarah to any organization looking for a skilled and dedicated manager and mentor. She has my highest endorsement.
