Bio
Richard Zwickel
Sacha Ward is the consummate professional. She approaches her work with strategic leadership and grace. Always conscientious in her approach, Sacha is a compelling influencer in our space– both externally and internally - and what is left in her wake is invariably a more refined and creative solution, greater efficiency, a more perfect product, insightful research, unique perspectives, and appropriately warmer cultural environment, successful clients and gratified staff. Sacha contributed significantly to POCN; she dedicated herself to advancing our APP platform. I highly recommend Sacha for her leadership, strategic prowess, collaborative nature, and as a champion and architect for driving creative marketing, advertising, and business needs toward successful outcomes.
Jennifer L Marlo-Triemstra, MS, PhD
I have had the pleasure to work over 2 years with Sacha developing our external medical education program. Our external education program is extremely diverse and dynamic, never a consistent ask. We needed a vendor that could not only produce dynamic, professional education, but also be malleable when change was on the horizon. Sacha was able to get her team to just that. She has the unique ability to focus in on our ask and delegate the objectives to her team in a manner that drives them to perform at their peak. Sacha created an environment of openness and accountability that genuinely helped both her agency team and my medical team grow together as one team. She is thorough in deliberations and thoughtful in delivery of our projects, always handing off items with a dialogue for us to consider
