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.
