Core Team
Managing Director
Originally from Boston, Sarah developed her interest in using business concepts, skills, and talent for the good of society while studying global business, entrepreneurship, and social justice at Rutgers University. During her university years, she co-founded Sulis, a social venture developing solar-powered water cleaning technology for communities in India. Through her work on Sulis, Sarah learned about Effective Altruism and pledged to give 10% of her salary to highly effective charities.
While working as a strategy consultant at Accenture, Sarah established an Effective Altruism workplace group to encourage her colleagues to use their skills and resources in the most impactful ways. As the Effective Altruism Consulting Network’s first Managing Director, Sarah loves meeting and finding ways to help inspiring and talented professionals apply themselves to the world’s most pressing problems.
