About Sara

Former BCG consultant and Director of Strategy & Development, I support CEOs and leadership teams on growth, transformation and strategic initiatives.

My work sits at the intersection of strategy and execution: helping organizations define priorities, structure complex decisions and drive high-impact projects from conception to implementation.

I have worked across consulting, private equity and executive leadership roles, supporting topics such as corporate strategy, business transformation, operating model design, M&A, governance and performance improvement.

Whether acting as a strategic advisor, project lead or CEO's right hand on a critical initiatives, my objective is always the same: bring structure to complexity and turn ambitious goals into actionable plans.
