Head of Growth at Stripe · M.B.A., MIT Sloan
Sarah graduated NYU Stern with a 3.9 GPA and no idea what she wanted to do. Two finance offers on the table. Both felt wrong. She joined Forkaia® instead.
She had two finance offers. Both felt wrong. So she joined Forkaia® and found marketing — by doing it.
Sarah's first task was a customer-acquisition audit for a DTC skincare brand. She delivered 60 pages — far more than asked, with original A/B test recommendations. The brand's CMO emailed us asking how to hire her.
Marketing wasn't on Sarah's radar. Forkaia® routed her through 14 growth tasks in 4 months — paid acquisition, lifecycle, retention, attribution. By task 8, she'd found her thing.
Forkaia® supported her MBA applications. We wrote a recommendation grounded in real work, not theory. She got into MIT Sloan, Wharton, and Stanford GSB. Chose MIT.
Klaviyo hired Sarah straight out of MIT for a growth role. Two years later, Stripe recruited her to lead a growth pod. Within 18 months she was Head of Growth for a $50M product line.
Sarah's career arc is what happens when you give a high-agency person 14 real tasks instead of 4 years of theory.
