Narine Galstian: Curious and Constantly Growing

We all go through difficult times when growing up, but how we react to those times determine how we show up as adults.

Narine Galstian took her childhood challenges and grew into a driven, curious, and open minded leader.

Narine is one of the most promising CMO's in the technology sector, at the helm of the 14x - Inc. 500 Company, SADA. SADA was named Google Cloud Reseller Partner of the Year for 2018 and 2019. SADA was also named the Google Cloud Global Partner of the Year Award for 2018.
