Bio
Sara Sfeir Ⓥ
It was a real pleasure working with Nina. She is a meticulous person with great attention to detail. She always makes sure communications are clear and well structured, projects are well defined, and all stakeholders are well informed.
Shauna Warwick, MBA, CCLP
I had the pleasure to work with Nina on a large, successful HRIS implementation impacting over 9000 team members and dentists at almost 600 sites across Canada. As the project communications lead, Nina led the execution of a robust communications strategy within our change management framework. Nina’s diverse skill set, creativity, work ethic and ‘can do’ attitude, made her such an invaluable team member. Delivering effective communications to very diverse stakeholder groups with limited channels was not an easy task. Nina always contributed creative ideas, leading the team to ensure all Communications were completed and executed on schedule. Nina is one of the most resilient people I have ever worked with, always operating with the highest level of professionalism and integrity. I would gladly work with Nina again on any initiative!
