FOUNDER & CEO

Inspired with a vision to create a powerful community for women leading change, Sarah founded the Women In Change network in August 2022.

As an experienced change leader herself across the MOD and consulting fields, Sarah noticed the absence of a dedicated platform for women in change to connect, support, and empower one another.

Sarah's leadership has propelled the network's growth, including organizing the successful inaugural summit, bringing in new members and securing invaluable sponsorship. Her inclusive and warm approach ensures that every member feels welcomed and empowered to get involved. In her day-to-day role, Sarah is Principal Consultant for PA Consulting in their Change and Capability Practice.
