Je connais Sarah depuis qu'elle était stagiaire et j'ai suivi l'évolution de sa carrière depuis. Elle a démontré une capacité à assimiler des sujets complexes et s'est révélée être une gestionnaire de projet efficace qui a fait preuve de ténacité et d'une détermination à apporter de la valeur dans le monde de l'innovation et du développement du business. Elle a une maturité intrinsèque et est capable de résoudre des problèmes d'interface potentiellement délicats et a démontré tout au long de sa carrière une capacité à s'attaquer à plusieurs missions simultanément. Je dirais également qu’elle a une vision globale qui lui permet de prendre de la hauteur et d’anticiper les contraintes éventuelles au projet. Je peux entièrement approuver ses compétences et son caractère et donner une recommandation sans réserve

Sarah worked in my team while she worked at Quadpack. Sarah was expected to manage multiple projects for multiple clients with differing degrees of complexity - the role was very full-on and Sarah managed this very well. Sarah would have to deal with both clients and suppliers as well as several internal departments in order to deliver projects on time and to the clients satisfaction. Sarah was never afraid to ask questions in order to get a task done. I very much enjoyed working with Sarah and was sad to see her leave Quadpack.
