Sathe held a contest last year challenging the company’s employees to develop a new tagline, he insisted on only one thing: share the good we do for people.
The result was a slogan that summarized not only RiseSmart’s business, but why its employees felt it was truly a special place to work:
“Transitioning Talent. Changing Lives.”
Transforming Outplacement
Sathe’s focus on people, and on making a difference for people, have been the driving force for a successful career that has taken him from his native India to Europe; to Texas and, now, Silicon Valley.
Over two decades, Sathe was an executive for global corporations. He served as vice president for enterprise data management for Sabre Holdings, a $2.5 billion leader in travel commerce. Before that, he was senior vice president of marketing for Brierley & Partners, the CRM and loyalty management company. He also served in management roles in Europe and Asia with corporations such as Lufthansa and HSBC.
