Bio
Tim Withers Le Chat
Sam is a remarkable leader. Not just in his vision and ability to direct and motivate, but in his ethics, values, and commitment to his people. I've never worked with a more passionate, energetic, and genuine CEO. Always pushing to be better, always hunting for that next big idea, and always grounded in undoubted care and consideration for those he works with. Sam is the only founder I've joined on two separate entrepreneurial journies, and I wouldn't hesitate to do so again. An inspiration.

Sam is an inspirational and energetic leader. It has been a privilege to work with him over the past years and to witness the growth of GetSmarter under his direction. Sam has the ability to align interests and generate real engagement from both his direct team and the broader business. What I value most about Sam is how he actively challenges himself to get better in all areas of his life - all the time!. He has zero complacency and a drive for continuous improvement.
