Sav’s clients say:

 Sav supported Confluent through a significant strategic and structural transition, moving the business from a monoline operating model to a matrix structure designed to support a new, more integrated strategy. This transformation required changes not only to structure and accountability, but also to leadership behavior, team dynamics, and ways of working across the organisation.

A key strength of her work was the way she leveraged the Enneagram as a developmental tool, using it not as a label, but as a means to deepen self-awareness, improve relationships, and support both individual and organizational adaptation during change. From my perspective as CEO, Sav demonstrated a strong ability to hold the system view while working deeply with individuals and teams.

 On a personal level, I found Sav to be highly relatable, efficient, and effective. She engages with credibility and warmth, creates psychological safety quickly, and balances empathy with appropriate challenge. Her work is structured and disciplined, yet flexible enough to respond to the realities of a fast-moving business.
