Sarah supported me tremendously and her advice and demeanor instilled confidence immediately. To have someone with her depth of knowledge and corporate experience available to us via a retainer relationship was perfect since, as a fairly small company, we couldn’t afford a full-time HR professional of her calibre.”
Lynne Godlien, CEO, Perennia Food & Agriculture
