What Every Litigant Should Know About Social Media Channels: Their Impact on Discovery and at Trial
LIVE Webcast

Sarah Carter
Vice President of Marketing
FaceTime Communications

At 17 Sarah joined the workforce as a taxi driver and remembers her roots well, so you can expect an interesting tour through the ins and outs of Social Networking and Web 2.0. Anecdotes and customer stories are of course inevitable. (and gratuities are expected) It took a stint with IBM, a software developer in Canada before she moved to the UK IT security market some 12 years ago, where she joined the management team of a UK security integrator, floated the company on AIM, acquired others and then sold it.

Having spent four years working with FaceTime customers and partners throughout Europe and Asia, Sarah recently relocated to HQ in California. Sarah works with FaceTime financial services clients on best practice social media and collaboration strategies in both Europe and the USA and regularly speaks on the topic on both continents.
