Thinking creatively is one strength that Sandra brings to work each day. Sandra and I worked closely with our business team partners to launch Synopsys Cloud. We had a very short window of time, only 6 weeks, to pull all the pieces together for the launch (web pages, collateral, press release and conference panel). Sandra was instrumental in driving the details to make the launch successful. Sandra's creativity was a tremendous asset when it came to creating the video storyboard, providing vital feedback and suggestions to make the finished video much more impactful. Sandra is a great collaborator, and her next company will be so lucky to have her as part of their team.

Sandra brings energy, unique perspectives, fresh ideas, and extensive industry experience to every project. One of her first projects as a member of my team had a tight deadline and lacked a predefined approach. Sandra eagerly embraced the challenge, established a rapport with the key stakeholder, and identified the necessary steps to move forward. This project was a crucial internal initiative for the business unit and required proficiency with a new technology platform, content creation, and leading the artistic direction for graphics. The initiative was a success thanks to Sandra’s efforts, and the project stakeholders were delighted with the outcome.

I'm pleased to provide a recommendation for Sandra. Sandra and I have known one another for many years and have worked together at two companies. In addition, I recently recommended her for a consulting project which she completed very successfully. Previously, I had responsibility for Synplicity’s European business and Sandra supported my field team, distributors and ecosystem partners. She was outstanding and viewed as a key member of our team. I know from my peers that she supported other regions of the world with the same level of commitment and collaboration. As a startup, we had a wide range of marketing needs and Sandra was always eager to help and was adept at wearing different hats to support the organization. She’s a consummate relationship builder and has an enviable network to draw on. She’s very creative and enthusiastic and a great representative for any organization. Sandra is a tremendous asset to any team that values adaptability, high-performance and strong collaboration in its members.

I have known Sandra for two years and during this time she worked in the capacity of channel and field marketing at Weka. Sandra has great project management skills; she is very cognizant of time and budget constraints and typically will deliver a result that exceeds my expectations. Sandra can manage many simultaneous, demanding projects with ease. In addition, she is adept at conceptualizing and executing lead generation programs, such as webinars, field events/seminars, roadshows, and tradeshows. As well as making valuable contributions to social media marketing programs. During COVID she easily navigated the transition from in-person events to digital marketing tactics like webinars and virtual tradeshows. Sandra would be an asset to any organization (high tech or otherwise) in a field marketing, lead generation, or channel marketing capacity.

Sandra has proven herself again and again as someone capable of providing an incredible event experience. From events like Arm TechCon that attracted thousands of attendees, to more intimate experiences where 20 people felt like the most important people on the planet. That said, the attribute that I find extraordinary about Sandra is her willingness to do anything to pursue her passion. As part of showcasing the possibilities that technology can bring to the clothing industry, Sandra learned how to program! She defined and developed a connected shoe demo. To me this project demonstrated Sandra’s creativity, willingness to take risks and infectious enthusiasm.

Few people have the opportunity to work with someone "Success Driven" like Sandra. She has a true partnership first mentality, rooted in collaboration, and focused on a Better Together strategy. Sandra's creative joint marketing ideas for lead generation and her ability to execute are critical to growing revenue and building a successful partnership. I am also very impressed with her ability to adapt to our new virtual environment and her creativity around virtual events. Sandra would make an excellent addition to any company looking to build tighter relationships with their partners, grow their marketing presence and drive incremental sales.

I have known Sandra for many years. She brought me and our institute near to the experts and inside the university program during the time when she was with Synplicity. With her help we were able to have deep technical discussions with the team regarding new synthesis techniques for FPGAs. Through her ability and enthusiasm to bring the right people together, collaborations in terms of writing common EU-Proposals, developing new concepts etc. was possible. This is where I see one of her personal strengths, to bring the right people together and encourage them to be proactive, like her. This strength has also helped us during the time that she was at EVE with new collaborations, exchange of ideas with technologists and scientists. Through her ability to connect people, through her network she established successfully over many years, through her overview about activities, requests and research directions in interdisciplinary communities, it is always fruitful to meet and discuss with her. Sandra would be an asset to any company. I would highly recommend her.

I worked with Sandra Larrabee through our partnership between ARM and Mentor, a Siemens Business. Sandra possesses exceptional organizational skills -- thorough and detail-oriented, and always prepared during business planning discussion. She also provides strategic ideas; I appreciate her critical-thinking skills and problem-solving, which are framed with mutual respect and "win-win" objectives. Sandra fosters tight relationships with her business partners and treats everyone with utmost respect and professionalism. I value working with her based on these excellent business, communication, and relationship strengths.

I have the pleasure of working with Sandra at Weka, an early-stage startup. From the first time I interviewed Sandra, she wowed us all with her creativity and style. She is a consummate professional, hard-working, self-reliant, always with a smile. Sandra wears many hats on my team which is essential in a lean startup. She has set best practices for field marketing driving Weka’s brand awareness, company, and product positioning, always with a lead and opportunity generation mindset. We were fortunate to benefit from her integrated marketing approach for campaigns – every detail is managed around a theme, whether it is pulling together our Oktoberfest Partner celebration or managing a virtual tradeshow. She is a great team player and works cross-functionally with teams supporting OEM, Channel, and field sales.

Sandra embodies a rare combination of abilities: the creativity, intelligence and experience needed for comprehensive and effective planning; the wherewithal and determination required to implement those plans despite headwinds and inevitable surprises; and a charming personality which makes it all happen with enthusiastic participation from everyone involved, from the executive staff down to the teamsters and contractors. I’ve seen firsthand what a tremendous impact she has on tradeshows, conferences, and other events, and I have no doubt her extraordinary set of A+ talents would carry over into any endeavor.

I have worked closely with Sandra during my 4+ years in ARM, in my capacity as EDA Partner Manger. As such, I had frequent interaction with her on the multiple events my external and internal partners attend. Sandra is unfailingly up-beat, even in the face of intense pressure and close time limits. She can extract co-operation from the most un-cooperative of people and organizations and is an excellent “fixer”. This is essential in running complex, multi-faceted events, and exhibitions. Sandra also has an excellent eye in terms of both image and fashion, and co-ordinates the visual aspect of such events as well as the logistics. I have found Sandra a pleasure to work with, detail oriented and extremely conscientious. I have no hesitation in working with her, in the knowledge that what she takes on is in a safe pair of hands.

I've been working closely with Sandra as one of Weka’s lead channel partners, to develop our joint marketing and demand generation strategy. Sandra understands the importance of clear communication and collaboration with the channel in driving success. Sandra's been great at finding different approaches to take our joint messaging to market and supporting us to drive events and demand gen activity forward. Her organization and diligence is a key asset here to make sure that things run smoothly. Sandra’s’ enthusiasm makes it a pleasure to work together, so long may it continue!

Sandra is exceptional at what she does. She is able to not only think strategically as well as tactically and excels at both. As the Manager of the University and partner programs at Synplicity, she was able to drive the program to great success on a shoe-string budget. Her knowledge of the EDA industry and the importance she puts on her personal and professional relationships with EDA partners, professors and others allows her to get things done where others can not. Sandra's programs are always well thought out, with a goal in mind. At Synplicity, she planned and implemented excellent integrated marketing communications campaigns that resulted in a very positive perception of Synplicity in Universities throughout the world.

Sandra is one of the most effective and personable educational marketing managers that I have had the pleasure to work with. She single-handedly built invaluable networks with engineering colleges and faculty across the country for a successful technology company. She is highly motivated and throws herself into her work having traveled the world to get her brand into the education space where it was previously absent. Her ability to develop long standing strategic relationships with key stakeholders in her target demographic is one of her greatest strengths. She is a great fit for any organization's outreach/strategic marketing/sales efforts.

Sandra is key to our success with events, marketing, social and all things for the Weka Channel and OEM partners. She is the perfect balance of strategic and tactical. Prior to and during COVID, she was the go to person for all the creative and “out of the box" thinking that our partners, prospects and customers really appreciated. It’s such a pleasure to work with Sandra and have her as a part of my team!

Simply stated, Sandra brings exceptional skills, insights, efforts, and creativity to her job responsibilities. She can communicate and drive decisions across multiple levels of an organization, takes ownership and personal responsibility on projects, and is excellent at managing people. In the 8 years I worked with her there was never a dull or average moment - she makes great things happen while generating a contagious positive attitude. She made Synplicity's public presence shine at external events, and out-executed much larger companies in the industry in programs she ran involving Universities, ASIC vendors, FPGA vendors, and other partnership programs. She built very strong external relations because she gained the trust and respect of our partners, while also being a credible and effective champion for them to make things happen internally. Sandra was also highly plugged into and responsive to needs of the sales organization and was proactive in implementing programs to improve sales effectiveness. She is deeply knowledgeable and has a valuable depth of experience to draw from in high tech sales and marketing. Together, these skills combined with her deep intelligence and creativity make her the most valuable member of a marketing team I have ever been privileged to work with.

Using Je t’aime Productions was seamless and impressive! Sandra set the pace for the design and flair for my wedding by designing and creating  the invitations and thank you notes. Family and friends raved about them. One guest framed theirs and sent it to me for a keepsake treasure! Pass the baton to Sandra for anything and consider it done!
