And received accolades from Hollywood actress Olivia Colman, chef campaigner Jamie Oliver, musician Paloma Faith, TV presenter and author Andi Oliver, and Planet Organic Founder Renee Elliott.
Sarah has an innate ability to build relationships, spot opportunities and build persuasive and inspiring cases to catalyze change. Whether crafting ambitious CSR strategies, inspiring boards, or refining proposals for effective fundraising - her unique perspective and practical approach, drawn from extensive experience in the corporate, media, food and charity sectors, gives her a strategic edge.
An inspiring public speaker (TedX alumni), Sarah understands the vitalness of empathy, hope and humour – along with the real world demands of running a successful organisation - to take people and collectives on journeys of change.
