Sarah Sheehan: Passionate About Making Life at Work Better for Everyone.
My guest on Episode 87 of #thePOZcast Sarah Sheehan is the Co-Founder and Chief Customer Officer of Bravely. Her diverse background in HR and as a sales leader made her passionate about helping companies build healthy cultures.
Prior to Bravely, Sarah was an executive at Gilt City, serving as the Head of Sales and leading a 65-person sales team, after spending over a decade working in various HR roles at SiriusXM, Coach, and Gilt Groupe.
Her HR background and intrinsic drive to help others find their potential made Sarah a go-to for professional guidance among her friends and colleagues. Soon, Sarah was coaching strangers who came her way via word-of-mouth. Recognizing a need, she co-founded Bravely to provide access and support to employees at every level.
Sarah and I worked together at SXM almost 14 years ago and it’s been amazing to watch her career journey and what she has built at Bravely. I am excited to dig into her career journey and how she is helping so many today PLUS all while being a new mom. This is a fantastic show and I hope that you all gain a ton of value and insights!
