As the Senior Vice President of Sales & Retail Marketing for TOMS, Sarah Lassek was responsible for leading the U.S/Canadian sales organizations through a period of rapidly changing consumer demand and instituting various programs to help bring supply and demand back into balance while opening the door for greater penetration of new, more diverse product offerings.  The results of Sarah’s efforts are now evident in the strong demand TOMS is seeing across key accounts. In addition to Sarah’s astute business sense, she is an approachable and effective leader. Sarah’s natural disposition for the brand enabled her to build and motivate a team that balanced business results with the company’s mission to improve lives through business.

In June 2011 denimocracy retained Sarah Lassek to assist with improving our sales and merchandising efforts. The initial assignment was only to be on a part-time basis, however as the project evolved and our confidence grew with Sarah’s ideas and direction, we decided to increase the scope of project. The result: Sarah was extremely helpful in setting the direction for re-launching the denimocracy brand. In addition to assisting with sales and merchandising, she was instrumental in identifying additional employee needs as well as interviewing and selecting the candidates. Sarah aided the team in choosing a PR firm and also attended various tradeshows representing the company. We found Sarah pleasant to work with while incorporating our wants and needs with her recommendations. Sarah possesses a great deal of enthusiasm for this industry and for her client’s success.

I brought SLAS in to manage an event for PROJECT in partnership with HauteLook and Falling Whistles. In a very short amount of time and with little direction, Sarah accomplished a very challenging task. I was extremely impressed by her ability to problem solve, navigate between the different parties involved and exceed expected results. Sarah possesses the qualities of a great leader, but at the same time, she is a team player.

I had the pleasure of working with Sarah Lassek while she was at True Religion.  Sarah is a dynamic, smart, and thoughtful leader. When Sarah started, we were struggling with our True Religion business. Within just a few months she was able to completely turn around the business for the better.  She was able to gain both my trust and confidence in a short amount of time.
