CLIENTS & TESTIMONIALS
From day one Sarah understood and invested herself in our vision, our metrics of success and our goals. Sarah struck a perfect balance of bringing her extensive experience and knowledge to everything she did while ensuring all content, programs and frameworks reflected Wealthsimple's unique employee needs and culture. Sarah tailored her offerings to what we needed -- I strongly recommend her to any organization no matter where you are in your L&D and Enablement journey -- she can help you create a business case for investment, build 'beta' programs, refresh or scale existing programs and the list goes on.Carrie Tanguay, Senior Director of Engineering Enablement, Wealthsimple
When I was a Senior Developer going into the management track, I participated in the management accelerator program at Shopify, run by Sarah. Each session was highly informative and engaging, and they were always a highlight of my week. Sarah's program equipped me with the foundational skills required for me to be effective in management, I wouldn't be where I am today without it.Anthony Nguyen, Software Development Manager, Shopify
ABOUT
In 2016, I joined Shopify to create engineering-focused leadership development programs as we scaled from 1,000 to 10,000 employees. I was later recruited by Wealthsimple to build their engineering learning and development strategy.My experience as a software engineer coupled with my Masters in Education helped me begin to see patterns and parallels across organizations small and large in their challenges as they attempted to hone their technical talent.
Now, I run Hello illume, a boutique advisory firm focused on saving organizations the pain of ineffective engineering teams from a lack of engagement and loss of top talent due to unprepared leaders.Sarah Naqvi, Principal + Founder, Hello illume
