Sara helped me with legal matters with regard to an unethical business in Wyoming. She is very capable in this area and I would recommend her services to anyone.
Source: LinkedIn Amish Jhaveri Jul 22, 2014For over 10-years, I've observed Sara seamlessly transition from A+ business student, to Student Body President, to Wall St. investment banker/analyst, university professor, and now president of an immensely successful start-up. While I knew her first business venture would be successful, I completely underestimated just how hugely triumphant she would be. Bravo!
Source: LinkedIn Charles A. Majors Jul 22, 2014In one word Sara is awesome. I recommend her for pretty much anything.
Source: LinkedIn Felix Dubinsky Jul 22, 2014Sara has been a great resource for the Entrepreneurship program at Pace University. Among other activities, she served as a judge at the Eighth Annual Pace Pitch Contest, an Alumni Mentor for the Entrepreneurship Lab and a guest speaker. Her ‘Search Engine Marketing on a Bootstrap Budget’ presentation was very insightful and extremely well received. Sara has clearly proven herself academically, professionally and entrepreneurially.
Source: LinkedIn Bruce Bachenheimer Jul 22, 2014Sara is both a friend and an inspiring leader. She has the unmatched ability to analyze a difficult situation and provide it creative solutions, along with clear objectives and flawless implementation. Her diverse professional background provides a unique perspective that is unrivaled in business, and her strong character provides the momentum required to accomplish the innovative goals that perspective brings.
Source: LinkedIn Miguel Augusto Barcenas Jul 22, 2014I have had the pleasure of doing business with Sara's company for over a year now and in that time, I have come to know her both personally & professionally. She is extremely bright, driven, self-motivated and passionate about the industry and the role she plays in it. Her employees respect her leadership and her trade suppliers find her to be fair & honest in business conduct. I feel fortunate to consider Sara Shikhman a friend and a business partner.
Source: LinkedIn Todd Weinstein Jul 22, 2014Sara is a very sharp, quick study on business, customer and personal communications execution. She is open to new ideas and grasps leadership concepts rapidly. As an innovator, she see how to use technology to drive business results.
Source: LinkedIn McAdory Lipscomb Jr. Jul 22, 2014Sara gave a fascinating speech about SEM (Search Engine Marketing) at The Wharton School today to members of the Entrepreneurship Club, Founders' Club, and Business Plan Competition. She did an excellent job relating the subject matter in a way that was tangibly useful for all of us entrepreneurs at the university. I would recommend her as a speaker (on SEM or any of her other areas of expertise) to anyone who is looking for an intelligent, lively, and pertinent presentation.
Source: LinkedIn Zach Simkin Jul 22, 2014Sara's expertise in ecommerce is astounding. She's mastered SEM and SEO, despite being one of the fresher faces in the industry--her insights have often been more profound than many of the veteren experts I consult with. She has been an irreplaceable resource for our online sales, organization, and creative direction.
Source: LinkedIn Alek Grinberg Jul 22, 2014Sara represented my roomate and I in a real estate matter against our landlord in Manhattan. She successfully negotiated for us to terminate our lease, pay reduced rent, and have our security deposit returned. She was extremely responsive and diligent in her work and we highly recommend her.
