What Clients Say
Sarah was instrumental in helping our team navigate the practical realities of implementing SAFe.
When we started this journey, we had the framework but needed someone who could translate it into the day-to-day details that actually make transformation work. Sarah excelled at this translation. She helped us think through everything from how to communicate the “why” behind our changes to designing learning pathways that met people where they were in their agile journey.
What impressed me most was Sarah’s ability to balance the big picture with the granular work. She’d help establish our ART ceremonies in the morning, then spend the afternoon coaching someone through their first sprint planning session. She understood that sustainable change happens through countless small adjustments, not just framework adoption.
Over our 8 months working together, Sarah consistently demonstrated the patience and practical wisdom needed to help an organization actually live these new ways of working. She has a gift for making complex organizational change feel manageable and human-centered.
Jennifer Arndt
Director, American Chemical Society
Sarah helped shape our vision of a transformation from traditional agile to a flow-based model using Kanban and lean principles. She’s bright, a servant leader, and has a wicked sense of humor!
If you are looking for an experienced leader to help shape your vision of the future and how work can be accomplished, I would recommend that you speak with Sarah. You won’t regret it.
Doug Dockery
Global SVP, Trackforce
I had the pleasure to work with Sarah during a major transformation effort. She brought deep knowledge of product-mindset and Agile practices, and she was a master at teaching and coaching those concepts to our organization. She was actively sought out by the teams – we want Sarah to help us – a testament to both her knowledge and style. Equally important was her leadership. She helped develop the overall organization change approach, provided valuable insights into was and was not working, and made changes to the approach that ultimately led to our successful transformation. Sarah’s leadership and expertise make a difference.
