Stephanie
Sarka, (’85) is one of the founding members of Overture (formally
GoTo), the successful Internet Company based in Pasadena, CA, which pioneered
Pay-for-Performance search in early 1998. During her time with Overture
Stephanie has pretty much done or seen it all.
Prior to Overture, Stephanie was with Mark Cross, the American luxury
goods brand, where she led the re-launch and turn-around of the business.
Before that, Stephanie spent three years at Coach Leatherware, worked
for International Flavors & Fragrances in Paris and spent two years
in the Mergers & Acquisitions group of Goldman, Sachs & Co. She
has her BA from Stanford and her MBA from Harvard.
In Europe on temporary assignment to leverage her knowledge and experience
with Overture’s European expansion, Stephanie will share some personal
reflections and lessons learned from her exceptionally interesting professional
odyssey.
The event will close with a questions/answers forum, and guests will be
provided with canapés & wine during the evening.
We are sure that this will be a very interesting evening and hope that
you will come along to the first of our 2002 Stanford Alumni Business
Forum Events.
