About Sarah Bock
For me, it’s about the win. Read on before you make assumptions. The win requires courage and inner drive to step up to the challenge; faith in myself and my team; pacesetting and hard work that stretches and grows; genuine gratitude for achieving through diligence, determination and support in and for each other. That’s a win. Striving to be my best has been an innate part of me since I was a child meticulously studying for spelling tests to ensure I never missed a word. And as a high school freshman who was brought up to varsity basketball practice squad to play defense because I refused to back down to even the quickest or highest scoring seniors. I truly enjoy being challenged. It’s a means for growth and if warranted, I am not afraid to stick my neck out there to achieve something big. As a seasoned business leader specializing in B2B technology, I enjoy creating order from chaos and remaining nimble to inevitable change. The havoc wrought by COVID19 to the travel industry the past two years provided me an opportunity to do just that. I defined strategy in an upturned business environment, redefined success amid mass cancelations and stay-home orders and laid the foundation for the future return of travel through technical optimizations and short term incentives. This effort, in addition to the close collaboration with our business partners and the drive of my team members, resulted in 90% top-line growth in 2021 vs 2019 for my portfolio. As a people leader, I believe relating to and connecting my team’s unique talents and strengths to the objectives and goals of our org is vital to our shared success. This means that I seek to understand each team member and give them the autonomy and trust to lead and execute, while holding them and myself to a high bar of success. I show empathy to each team member’s distinct experience and strive to always assume positive intent. When my team grows and succeeds, I do too. This quote summarizes my pursuit in life and work, well,\"You must not only aim right, but draw the bow with all your might.\"- Henry David Thoreau More About Me- My Values: Family, Achievement, Joy, Adventure, Growth, Health - Clifton Strengths: Achiever, Learner, Analytical, Focus, Individualization - Insights Personality: Reforming Observer (Blue, Red)- I thrive working in an industry I find invigorating and at a company whose values resonate with me personally- Talk to me about Michigan sports, adventure travel and the hilarity and challenges of parenting a toddler and preschooler during these crazy times.
