GDS Link is proud to announce the addition of Sara Smith to our Global Marketing Team!

Sara is a St. Louis native (a very loyal Cardinals fan) and moved to Chicago in 2015. She graduated from Southern Illinois University, where she earned dual degrees in Business Management and Marketing. Sara has an extensive marketing and communications background, with over eleven years of experience developing innovative campaigns and managing marketing teams.

In her free time, you will find Sara getting in touch with her Italian roots and making gourmet multi-course meals for her friends, enjoying a tasting at one of the many Chicago breweries, spending time with her two pit bulls (Daisy and Capone) or finding the best deal for an international flight for her next adventure.

We look forward to sharing this new adventure with Sara and welcome the GDS Link Family!
