Re
:
Executive
Reference
for
Sarah
Park
Dear
Members
of
the
Hiring
Committee
,
I
am
writing
to
offer
my
strongest
recommendation
for
Sarah
Park
as
she
pursues
the
Chief
Operating
Officer
role
at
Vertex
Data
Solutions
.
I
had
the
privilege
of
working
directly
with
Sarah
for
five
years
at
Meridian
Cloud
Systems
,
where
she
served
as
Vice
President
of
Engineering
from
March
2019
through
August
2024.
During
that
time
,
she
reported
directly
to
me
and
was
an
indispensable
member
of
our
executive
leadership
team
.
When
Sarah
joined
Meridian
,
our
engineering
organization
was
talented
but
fragmented
.
She
inherited
a
team
of
twelve
engineers
working
across
three
disconnected
codebases
and
immediately
established
a
unified
technical
roadmap
aligned
with
our
product
strategy
.
Within
her
first
eighteen
months
,
she
recruited
and
scaled
the
team
to
forty
-
seven
engineers
organized
into
six
focused
product
squads
,
while
maintaining
the
collaborative
culture
that
had
attracted
early
talent
.
I
have
worked
alongside
dozens
of
senior
technology
leaders
over
my
twenty
-
year
career
,
and
Sarah
stands
among
the
most
capable
and
principled
of
them
.
She
leads
with
both
intellectual
humility
and
decisive
authority
,
and
she
builds
teams
that
outperform
their
resources
.
Vertex
Data
Solutions
would
gain
an
executive
who
can
scale
systems
,
align
technical
teams
to
revenue
goals
,
and
elevate
the
entire
leadership
culture
.
I
am
happy
to
discuss
Sarah
'
s
qualifications
in
further
detail
.
Please
feel
free
to
contact
me
directly
at

or

Sincerely
,
David

Technology
Officer
