However, the LinkedIn profile sarah-fisher-15016923 does not appear to belong to the Sarah Fisher described above. That profile lists the user as working at "Way Major Inc" and describes them as a "Proud Generalist, with expertise in creative writing, start-up operations, holistic brand experience and the human dimension of organizations."3 This suggests the LinkedIn profile is for a different Sarah Fisher unrelated to the Indy Car driver and entrepreneur.
