Bio
Dale Sides
Sana is an experienced architect and manager. I worked with her on several very complex replication and disaster recovery solutions. She had a great grasp of the technology as well as the business model the technology applied to. She not only understood technology but also people. Some people talk Servant Leadership but Sana lives it, extremely nice and giving, but also firm when techies needed to be pushed forward on a project. Whenever I worked projects for her she would go out of her way to make sure she supported me and that I had everything I needed to be successful on the project and meet the client's business goals.
