Neil Sharman
Working with Sara was a delight. She worked in my User Research team at Slido, conducting user research via data analysis and qualitative calls with our customers. She instinctively understood what insights were useful to the business, communicating them to product teams and other relevant colleagues. I recommend her highly as someone who is very intelligent, savvy, proactive and personable. I wish Sara all the best for what I’m sure will be a very successful career.
