Leadership
The co-founders of Saga once all worked together at Fekete Associates where the mantras of 'never stop learning' and 'share your knowledge' were practiced on a daily basis. Although our careers took us in different directions, we all continued to follow these values.
We recognize how rewarding it can be to deliver knowledge to those that need and appreciate it and we are so excited to be building a platform and a community to fulfill this objective at a scale none of us had previously imagined.
