Testimonials

  • “Sara served as Head of Product at Shackleton from 2020 to 2026, and it is no exaggeration to say she fundamentally transformed our business. During her tenure, she was instrumental in driving a 10x increase in revenue by completely reinventing our entire product range. Sara doesn't just bring great products to market; she builds the infrastructure behind them. She implemented scalable processes, hired and led an exceptional design and product team from the ground up, and forged vital relationships with world-class suppliers. The proof of her impact is in the numbers: our products maintain an average 4.8/5 rating across the board. Shackleton’s reputation for uncompromising quality is a direct testament to Sara’s vision and execution. We simply wouldn’t be the brand we are today without her."

    Alice Nutley | Production Manager | Shackleton

  • “I had the pleasure of working alongside Sara during the early stages of an apparel start-up, and she was truly fantastic to collaborate with. Her knowledge of garment construction, materials, and the overall development process is incredibly valuable. She has a great eye for detail and is always thinking a few steps ahead, helping us avoid potential issues and delays. One of the things I appreciated most was how Sara balanced creativity with practicality. She understood the vision behind my designs and knew how to make them work in the real world of production, timelines, and budgets. On top of her expertise, Sara is supportive, collaborative, and always open to ideas and feedback. She brings positive energy to the team making the creative process feel smooth and enjoyable.”
