“Sarah helped me completely reinvent how we hired and assessed talent in Ecolab’s Supply Chain. We went from subjective and time consuming to data based and efficient decision making. More importantly, the quality of our talent and our retention rate improved dramatically. We did this while we significantly increased the diversity of our management team. On a more personal note, Sarah is an amazing professional whose perspective and advice I highly value. I have been lucky to work with Sarah.”
