Jeff Adams
The best word to describe Sandra is impressive. She is highly intelligent, passionate, collaborative, creative, agile, strong and most importantly a decent person. I had the pleasure to work with Sandra and for Sandra over the last 7 years developing digitals products for students and teachers. Sandra loves learning and shares what she learns freely with others. She has a unique capacity to be collaborative and inclusive while being decisive. I recommend If you have an opportunity to work with Sandra - take it!

Sandra loves learning! She is brave and decent in her pursuit of innovation and she is not afraid to ask the tough questions that will help her team improve. Her mix of creativity and business savvy make her an ideal product development partner. Sandra is a connector and cultivator of new ideas and people. I worked directly with Sandra for a decade and she continually sought out new design and development processes, strategies, and partners. Her open mind, unwavering commitment to students, and deep understanding of the digital learning ecosystem, made everyone who worked with Sandra reach higher.

As a sales and marketing leader, Sandra Nagy is the ultimate counterpart to work with from a development perspective. Sandra possesses that rare combination of skills and expertise - she is able to see the big strategic vision and combine that with her deep understanding of the practical, specific details at the grassroots level - that truly enable innovation to happen. I've had the privilege of working alongside Sandra and our education partners, from senior executives to end users in the educational technology and learning industry for the past 10 years, and in every interaction Sandra is professional, knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. If you are looking for someone that truly "gets" this in the educational learning space, Sandra is the full package.
