Carrie Mason
It was great working under Sam. I have always admired how helpful, efficient, and organised she is. Nothing is ever too much trouble for her. She is always reachable no matter how busy she is or what time of day (or night) it is. Sam genuinely cares about her team, and the company she works for. She has played a pivotal operational role in the school, consistently delivering time and time again. She has excellent stakeholder management skills which easily translated to all levels of the business. Clearly communicating updates and changes, making sure that everyone in the team is immediately updated and kept in the loop. I am so grateful to Sam for the support and understanding she showed me over the 3 years that I worked for the RTT school. It was a real pleasure working with her and an honour to have been a part of her team.

I've had the pleasure to work with Sam in multiple cross-functional projects at Marisa Peer. Sam's relaxed confidence, flexibility, fairness, and innate ability to influence and inspire others were what made all the difference when resolving overlapping priorities, limited resources, and approaching deadlines. Any work environment looking for an inspiring leader will be lucky to have Sam at the head of their team.
