Bio
Mike Hanagriff
Sarah has a natural ability to quickly develop positive and informative conversations around solutions for her customers, colleagues and company. I often relied on Sarah for her innovative approach and proven experience handling challenging sales initiatives. She would be a great asset to anyone attempting to fortify a team with energy and generate results!
Christine McDuffie
Sarah is great to work with. I met her when she started in the surfaces industry and she is a lightening fast learner, everything from the products to the channel. She is a strong leader, respected, fair and caring. Some people use the word 'partnership' without understanding or more importantly demonstrating 'partner' qualities but that Sarah truly knows how to partner. I hope that I will have a chance, in the near future, to work with her again.
