Nice to meet you, I am Sarah
I'm a leadership and communication consultant and applied researcher. For more than twenty years I've been helping leaders and their organisations build their reputation, sharpen their positioning, and communicate with impact.
I cut my teeth in advertising before moving into senior roles at Farner Consulting, Switzerland's leading public relations agency. I held key positions at multinationals Nord Anglia Education and Kellogg's, where I developed the Pringles brand's PR strategy for Europe. I built a successful proptech startup from the ground up, ran it as CEO for 5 years, before handing over the reins as my career took an international turn: first an education group in Doha, then heading up communications for a European organisation in Lisbon.
Clients think of me when they need to work on their executive presence, develop the capabilities to deliver high-stakes communications, prepare for managerial transitions, and develop transformative self-leadership. I go beyond standard formulas. The space I create is demanding, stimulating, and built to transform how professionals show up and lead.
I teach regulary at Fribourg Management School, across executive programmes and speak at international events. I was previously Chair of the Société Romande de Relations Publiques, the professional body for PR practitioners in French-speaking Switzerland.
I graduated from the London University of the Arts, studied management at Columbia Business School in New York, and earned an Executive MBA from IMD in Switzerland. I'm currently pursuing a Doctorate at SDA Bocconi in Milan, where my research focuses on leaders identity during disruption.
I speak 6 languages, don’t know how to tap dance and love spicy food.
