“Sacha is an evangelist who gets things done. And who documents it to the world and who codes in Lisp for Emacs. A triple threat: technology evangelist, writer and Lisp coder!” February 26, 2007

worked with Sacha at IBM

“I have known Sacha for close to two years now, as a collaborator on Web 2.0 initiatives within IBM, a colleague, and one of the very few who understands the social underpinnings of the evolving Web. I highly regard her as an evangelist, innovator and researcher. Her efforts within IBM's internal blogosphere has been instrumental in tipping the adoption of social tools.” February 11, 2007

“Sacha has an impressive understanding of advanced and emerging technologies, but what made her stand out from her peers at IBM was her ability to use that understanding to communicate succinctly what these technologies might mean and what their impact might be. I rate her work highly and I used it as a source of strategic support for the sales areas I led at IBM.” December 8, 2006
