Worked together but different companies - Community Leader, Run Coach & Athlete , On

Sahar was one of the first people I worked with when I started leading the run club at the On store. She was always super supportive and made sure I had everything I needed to lead the runs each week. She would show up early and stay late just to make sure everything was taken care of. Her energy and outgoing personality made the store feel like a welcoming place for everyone. I always felt like I could count on her, and I’m really grateful for the way she helped me do my job well.
