Five questions with Sarah Smith, the newest member of Team Alpine

Q: Why did you decide to join the Team Alpine?
A: I’ve spent the past 20 years working for a supply chain software provider. I am really excited to take all the knowledge I’ve gained and share that with Alpine clients. In this role, I will get the chance to be a trusted advisor without ties to any particular vendor.

Q: What were you doing before you joined Alpine?
A: I was a Director of Professional Services with Manhattan Associates where I designed and implemented warehouse management systems for clients.

Q: What professional accomplishments are you most proud of?
A: I have diverse experience across a wide range of verticals and industries. I’m proud of having helped these clients tackle their biggest challenges – like meeting their delivery windows and cost objectives and enabling them to achieve strong ROIs on their software investments. At Manhattan Associates, I was one of few from the services side of the business to be selected for President’s Club. It was a real honor to be recognized for the quality of work I deliver.

Q: What makes you unique?
I listen deeply to my clients so I can gain a true understanding of their challenges, that’s what makes me a trusted advisor. I love figuring out the root causes of their issues and coming up with creative solutions to address them. I don’t believe in band aids – I like solving core issues and removing bottlenecks long term.

Q: Tell us a bit about who you are outside of work.
A: I’m married and have a son age eight and a daughter who is six. We love to travel and this summer visited eight National Parks! It was great. We’re currently planning another road trip around Florida. I also love to run.
