Globally recognized for her work in human-centered design and entrepreneurship, she is proud to work alongside an incredible team of educators to drive innovation inside schools. Sarah’s organization, Future Design School, provides world-class strategy development, professional training programs and resources that empower effective leadership and personalized learning.

Sarah then founded Sprouter; the world’s first online community providing real-time advice to startups.

In 2014, she joined forces with talented business leaders from some of the world’s top companies like LEGO, Virgin and Starbucks to create a venture capital fund that actively invested millions of dollars in early-stage startups across a wide variety of industries and created nearly a billion dollars in net worth.
