Sarah most recently served as Chief Executive Officer of the human performance coaching company EXOS, which partners with thousands of professional athletes and 25% of the Fortune 100 in optimizing health and performance.
At EXOS, Sarah led a transformation of the business from a predominantly bricks and mortar fitness business to a digitally driven human performance coaching platform all while navigating the extraordinary headwinds of the Covid-19 pandemic.
During this journey Sarah and her team boldly led the conversation around the future of human health and performance in the workplace - by partnering with Adam Grant, Marissa Shandell and the team at Wharton to create a new blueprint for workplace culture that proved to not only increase productivity and performance but significantly reduce employee disengagement and burnout.
Prior to EXOS, Sarah served as the CEO of the indoor cycling company Flywheel Sports, global President of luxury fitness company Equinox, and she led the widely documented repositioning and turnaround of the $5 Billion global Gatorade business in the midst of the 2008 recession. Sarah’s earlier career journey included leadership roles in marketing at some of the world’s most iconic brands including Virgin and Nike.
Sarah is a passionate advocate for an active lifestyle and believes the lessons learned from sports and fitness can be applied to improve performance in the workplace.
She has served on Hillary Clinton’s US State Department Council to Empower Women and Girls through Sports and as a trustee of Billie Jean King’s Women’s Sports Foundation. She also sits on the board of Jet Blue Airways, and formerly of STRAVA – the social network for athletes.
As a proud Kiwi American, Sarah is an active member of the World Class New Zealand Network, she remains committed to helping her birth country’s development, international competitiveness and economic growth.
These leadership experiences have given Sarah a strong perspective on today’s disruptive business environment and the need to evolve business offerings to changing consumer preferences.
