• 21 years at the Advisory Board Company in leadership and consultative sales roles
• Expertise in business development, team management, sales leadership, and culture building

Sarah began her career at the Advisory Board Company, a data and consulting firm in Washington D.C. that is dedicated to improving the performance of not-for-profit and investor-owned healthcare organizations across the country. Having built and managed teams that consistently delivered results in consulting, technology, and advisory services, Sarah recognizes how critical it is to have the right talent leading today’s healthcare technology & services companies. 

During her first 10 years at the Advisory Board, Sarah pursued a path from successful individual contributor with increasing responsibility as player/coach to leading business development and sales for the largest commercial division. As the healthcare industry evolved towards more transparency and a greater level of scrutiny for providers, Advisory Board clients were forced to make sizable improvements in their data and analytical capabilities. This march towards transparency led the Advisory Board to both build and acquire technology platforms, several of which Sarah helped launch and bring to market over the next several years. This transition enabled healthcare organizations to achieve discontinuous performance improvement, as well as helping the Advisory Board secure its spot as a top five data and analytics company. 

Sarah helped maintain growth and client satisfaction as the primary relationship contact with c-suite executives, while also beginning to discern the cultural attributes that made some organizations successful, and others not. This was the catalyst for Sarah joining Spencer Stuart, where for over three years she led searches and culture assessments for hospitals, health systems, medical groups, associations, and other health care organizations.

Sarah spent her formative years in New York City and then attended Cornell University for her undergraduate studies in psychology. Craving fewer sirens and less concrete, she and her family relocated to the suburbs of northern Westchester. She and her husband and two children enjoy an active lifestyle in addition to caring for their five pets, occasionally hobnobbing with local celebrities, and serving on local non-profit boards.
