About

Hello, I’m Sara. I’m passionate about leadership, coaching, technology, design, product development, startups, distributed teams, commerce platforms, and open source. I also enjoy laughter, good times, and the company of friends.

I'm a founding partner and leadership coach at The Intentional Organization, an executive leadership coaching firm and a forthcoming book on building and running purposeful companies based on inclusion, clarity, and learning.

I'm currently the Chief Product Officer at Mailchimp, responsible for leading and shaping the product strategy to help small businesses start and grow. Most recently, I am the Co-founder & former CEO of Reaction Commerce, the open commerce engine for retailers and brands, which I successfully led from founding to acquisition by Mailchimp in April 2020. I'm also a startup advisor, executive leadership coach, and former product and design leader at Etsy, Media Temple, Yahoo!, GeoCities, among other global technology companies.

I coach and advise a handful of people and businesses who want more effective and higher-impact organizations.

Any of those topics interest you? Get in touch.
