Our Team at Abraham Harrison LLC

Abraham Harrison is a company of 22 people stretching across 14 time zones, and living in five countries on four continents. We are of four nationalities and six ethnicities.

Among us we speak not only English, but Spanish, Afrikaans, German, French, Hindi, Swahili, and Arabic. Our people have lived in the US, UK, Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Liberia, South Africa, Tanzania, Tunisia, Germany, Spain, India, and Egypt.

In this highly international, intercultural, interlingual company that is Abraham Harrison LLC, we meet on the internet and operate primarily in English - and we live our daily lives both on and offline within the constantly morphing cultural boundaries that is our modern cosmopolitan world.

It is our normal daily life that we order lunch in German while phoning with a client in English, then pause to ask a friend a question in Spanish - and navigating in real time the cultural switches that go along with communicating with an Austrian, a Canadian, and a Colombian within the span of 10 seconds.

Equally, and in a similarly cosmopolitan and adaptable fashion, we comfortably and naturally move between online communities of Ivy-League professors, Latino youth, snarky gamers, and growling no-BS New York businessmen - each of these groups has as unique an inside culture and as much protocol that we must carefully respect, as any culture defined by geographic boundaries or national language.

It is this ability to comfortably, naturally, and sensitively move among cultures - both in the online and offline worlds - that make us here at Abraham Harrison so effortlessly able to communicate effectively wherever our clients need us to.

We are cosmopolitans in the fullest sense, and the sensitivity and adaptability we employ in our daily lives and as we move around the globe for business, pleasure, or family, we bring to bear intuitively in our online conversation marketing. 22 people, 5 countries, 4 continents, 6 ethnicities, and 8 languages between us.

That’s the team at Abraham Harrison.

Sara Wilson, Director of Operations

Sara Wilson is Director of Business Development for Abraham & Harrison. Trained as a historian, with experience in college administration, freelance writing, and non-profit management, Sara is the company’s jack-of-all-trades. Although her primary focus is business development, her other responsibilities include human resources, financial services, and management of our virtual office.

Sara knows who at A&H is supposed to be doing any particular thing, and, if no one is doing it, will assign it to someone, or do it herself. Sara received her bachelor’s degree from Tufts University and moved to Washington DC to attend graduate school at American University.

Sara now lives in Arlington, Virginia with her two children, Casey and Jared, and her husband Ed, who also works for a virtual company and is therefore also at home all day. Their children worry that they don’t really have jobs.

When not working for A&H, Sara works with an association of historians, volunteers on various school and civic committees, beats Casey at Wii boxing, or shares in Jared’s latest interests, which at the moment include playing the cello and watching The Weather Channel.

In her very little spare time, Sara likes to attend the theater, read, and do anything that gets her outside, as long as it doesn’t involve a lawn mower.
