It’s a core belief at Think Big that entrepreneur is not so
much a title, but a spirit. It’s a pulse that courses through the veins of a
growing company. We know that behind every great company are people who embody
this spirit, people who embrace change, face the unknown and are willing to try
new things. We’re lucky enough to have a team of these people, and we’re happy
to announce that we’ve named one fearless entrepreneur on our team, Sarah
Snyder, as partner.
Prior to 2010, Sarah, an event planner at the time, had
aspirations of planning the Oscars and working on Disney parades. But it wasn’t
until an entrepreneurship conference put on by Think Big that she found her
direction. Her passion is events that change people; events that teach them and
empower them.
“I decided right there that I wanted to make a difference
with the events I planned. I began as a volunteer for Think Big, and found
myself working full-time not long after,” said Sarah.
During her early days at Think Big, Sarah’s major
accomplishment was starting the Think Big Coworking community. What started as
just “space to fill” has blossomed into an active, engaged and close-nit
coworking environment. In her new role as Partner, Sarah will continue the
momentum she helped start and has big plans for developing the community
further.
When asked about what “partner” means to her, she said that
partners take care of each other.
“Partners help round out the thought process, fit together
and create a whole perspective,” she said. In her day-to-day partner role,
Sarah will continue to grow parts of the Think Big business regionally and
nationally. While her major focus is on strategic partnerships, she will
continue to manage the Think Big Coworking space.
Because she’s been a part of Think Big since the beginning,
she’s seen a lot of changes and forward progress.
“A lot of things we’ve been dreaming about are finally
starting to become a reality. The potential for growth and success feels very
close. My passion for Think Big comes from creating jobs in KC, and as cheesy
as it sounds, I think we can change the world – one job at a time.”
2014 is going to be a big year for Think Big.
Stay tuned for some big announcements from Sarah and the rest of the Think Big
team this Spring/Summer.
