Sara is an operations and transformation leader who steps into complex, high-stakes situations and gets them moving.
Over two decades inside global CPG, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical/OTC companies, including Johnson & Johnson and Suave, she has led the work that is hardest to do from the inside: restaging brands valued at over $1 Billion annually, recovering fill rates by 30+ points during active supply crises, and cutting new product development from three years to one. She has also taken a first-ever NAFTA audit response through to $16MM+ in avoided penalties as well as delivering over 200 product launches on time throughout her career.
What sets her apart is range. She has worked across supply chains, brand and product launch, quality and compliance, and clinical supply, and she knows how these functions depend on each other. That lets her see where a problem starts, which is often not where it shows up. Her greatest strength is bringing clarity and calm to chaos.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. She breaks down silos, builds teams that own their outcomes, and designs processes that hold up after she leaves. Clients work with her as an advisor, as embedded leadership, or on a defined project.
Sara holds an MBA from Northern Illinois University and a B.S. in Industrial Engineering Technology from the University of Dayton and is trained in Lean Six Sigma.
Let’s build something powerful together.
