Expressing her anticipation for the conference, Sarah stated, “I am looking forward to learning all about the approach from the different EU countries on investigations, enforcement, and the role of the labor judge.

Her tenure has been marked by notable achievements, including shouldering responsibilities for business development and demonstrating her acumen in managing her own business ventures, thereby attuning her to the challenges faced by owner-managers.
