I’m Sahar!
STRATEGIC OPERATIONS LEADER SPECIALIZING IN ORG DESIGN, PROCESS, SERVICE DESIGN, & RESEARCH
ABOUT MEI’m a strategic operations leader with over 15 years of experience designing and streamlining how organizations run, from org structures and resourcing systems to the everyday processes teams rely on. As a sensemaker, I gravitate towards roles where I can build thoughtful, flexible, and nimble process to set an org up for success.
“I've always loved how you give and take feedback.
When giving feedback, you're willing to have the hard conversation with people and help them see the opportunity rather than have them dwell on the problem.
When receiving feedback, you are gracious about accepting the feedback, you ask questions and push back when necessary, but you're never defensive. It makes the act of giving you feedback, and having hard conversations so much easier.”
Former manager (CHIEF DESIGN OFFICER)“Sahar’s guidance has been pivotal to my growth over the past year. She strikes a thoughtful balance between support and challenge by offering encouragement when I need it, while also pushing me outside of my comfort zone when necessary.
I also really value the trust she places in me. She gives me space to lead, while remaining available as a sounding board and that balance has helped me grow in both confidence and independence.”
FORMER DIRECT REPORT (LEAD PRODUCT STRATEGIST)“Sahar is the queen of relationship building! Not only has she been able to build strong working relationships with folks throughout [the company], but she's also maintained strong relationships she's made at previous jobs and networking environments. She's quick to share her contacts with the studio, for new business opportunities as well as employee referrals.”
FORMER CO-WORKER (ASSOCIATe director of people operations)Praise
“But what I think takes Sahar to the next level is her unmatched ability to sell the value of her work to other business units. She will proactively position herself as a resource for the company by being visible and collaborative. And she will make it extremely clear exactly which findings matter to whom (using her design skills to make the presentation more engaging), and will collaborate on a roadmap forward.”
