Bio
Jessica Schroeder
Working with Sarah at the Global Manufacturing and Industrialisation Summit (GMIS) for 3 years has been a pleasure and great experience in many ways. She is a very energetic and powerful programming expert that always takes on any challenge and successfully delivers beyond expectations. During the time we worked together, I have seen how she is able to efficaciously multi-task in this fast-paced environment without even blinking. Sarah always supported our partners/stakeholders excellently and has been a main driver of building long-term relationships with many of them. Working with Sarah was a joy and I would have no reservations in recommending her.

I had the pleasure of working with Sarah collaborating on several projects. Sarah’s ability to handle multiple projects/events was unlike any I’ve seen before. Sarah is a genuinely inspiring professional, and I have acquired quite a few skills and competences myself learning from her. She has a can-do approach, always positive and super energetic attitude that always ensures very high quality and a friendly working atmosphere, even during most challenging situations. I would highly recommend her to any company out there.
