Case StudyHave a green leadership team or
really just want the opportunity to bounce ideas off of someone in a productive and safe place? There is nothing that I love more than being able to ideate and determine the path forward – be it from revenue plans, team structure or your next product launch.
Sometimes it can be challenging for teams, especially scrappy ones, to manage the day-to-day while also working on forward-thinking, strategic initiatives. Do you have big, hairy strategic initiative on the horizon but you don’t know who on your team can manage it?
Case StudySammar brought an incredible amount of creativity and diligence by implementing critical processes. Within 2 quarters, she designed, tested, and launched our release readiness framework and customer feedback intake process. The release readiness process was an immediate success - with the first feature launch leading to a conversion of 17% of customers within 2 weeks of launch. Similarly, our customer feedback intake process was met with a highly positive sentiment from customers and quick uptake - with thousands of participants engaged. Internally - it seemed like an almost daily occurrence that I’d here “I am so glad Sammar is here.” In addition to lending her process-creation and enablement brilliance, Sammar provided value with so many other skills. Her analyst background came in handy constantly - she was able to bring massive datasets to life with beautifully crafted and insightful data visualizations. As a skilled wordsmith with a knack for understanding the needs of executives, Sammar was a great support when it came to creating and sharing presentations and write-ups for executive-level reviews. Above all, Sammar was an incredible sounding board and thought partner with a strategic mind - she asks the right questions to understand the root of the most complex problems and thinks of holistic end-to-end solutions. Sammar is the ideal consultant - she executes with intense velocity with a work-product that is thorough and thoughtful that will have any of her clients imploring her to support any and all types of projects.

Sammar is insightful, quick, and specific. She never provides cookie-cutter solutions and always tailors her solutions or feedback to your business. When she believes she isn’t best positioned to engage with a topic, she is intentional and thoughtful about bringing in experts through her vast network that provide exponential value. Working with Sammar has not only helped my business grow, but has helped me grow as a business leader.

- Stacey
I’ve had the privilege of working with Sammar at both Newsela and Instructure, where she was a Fractional Chief of Staff to our Chief Product Officer. Sammar and I partnered closely on multiple large and complex initiatives that spanned the entire product ecosystem. She is a highly strategic thinker and leader, with unparallelled organizational, communication, and negotiation skills. Sammar can effortlessly dive into new situations, quickly see the big picture through the chaos, shape it into a vision, and then lead teams to build and execute plans to bring that vision to life. Every time I work with Sammar I breathe a sigh of relief, knowing the outcome will be exceptional.
