About Sara Saraiji

I don’t believe you always get what you work for. The mindset of working hard to deserve opportunities creates entitlement toward things that may not be meant for you. I believe instead in being exactly where you’re needed, by others and by your future self. That mindset has shaped every step of my path.At ten, I negotiated with suppliers in China, opened a bank account, and registered my first company. What began as a hobby became a small business selling thousands of slimes, eventually banned at my school because of how popular they became. That happened through curiosity and a tenacious drive to build without boundaries.Fluidity has defined everything since. I explored fashion consulting; launched a food blog that led to collaborations ranging from free boba tea to helicopter rides; founded an online magazine; published academic work; and appeared on a radio show. As a junior in high school I interned at the Middle East’s top fashion retailer, Level Shoes, promoting designers like Dior and Gucci. For the past four years, I’ve been the marketing lead for a growing event-design company, executing events for an embassy in Washington D.C. and high-profile clients across Dubai.After my freshman year, I interned at The rAVe Agency, the number one media publication company in the audio visual industry, traveled to Las Vegas for a major trade show, and met with VPs from AV leaders including Bose, Sony, and Samsung.The summer after sophomore year, I joined Publicis Groupe, the world’s largest advertising network. I developed strategic decks for the world\'s largest pharmaceutical companies and pitched them directly to VPs. I created a PCOS awareness campaign and presented it to senior judges in NYC. In my final hour of my internship, I pitched a strategic creative campaign to the CCO, which was selected for future development among numerous proposals.I’ve learned that growth isn’t linear. Fluidity helps me seize unexpected opportunities, and failure fuels an obsession to rebuild stronger.This summer, I feel humbled to join Google as an Associate Product Marketing Manager on the Subscription and Consumer Growth team in the Bay Area, driving my unconventional mindset to accelerate growth and leveraging my relentless entrepreneurial drive to build without fear.
