Sarah is a senior innovation and strategy leader with over 20 years experience across the chemicals, fuels and agriculture sectors. As well as a respected economic strategy consultant, she has held CEO and GM roles in the bioeconomy - leading a non-profit innovation cluster and scaling a late-stage bio-based chemicals start-up - bringing deep commercial, technical, and partnership experience.

She is currently the Chemicals, Materials & Natural Resources Global Practice Head at FutureBridge, advising Fortune 500 companies and industry disruptors/start-ups on growth, sustainability, strategy and technology adoption. Her work shapes decisions in boardrooms and C-suites across the global value chain.

Educated at Imperial (beloved ERASMUS year in Hanover, Germany), Sarah combines scientific and commercial rigour with global perspectives that span the supply-chain from the agricultural producers themselves to the downstream chemical/fuel companies and now end-of-life plastics / textiles / gases / biomass as circular feedstocks. No such thing as waste!

She helps companies navigate the 2050 Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) net-zero transition while tackling the realities of geopolitical volatility, supply-chain risk and China’s ever accelerating industrial influence.
