Meet Sarah

As Managing Director of Capability Leadership at Kenway Consulting, Sarah is responsible for guiding and growing multiple practice areas—including Data & Analytics, Cloud Engineering & Application Development, Salesforce, Business, Product & Digital Transformation, Contact Center Solutions, and Artificial Intelligence.

Her focus is on building strong technical expertise, aligning practice capabilities with client needs, and differentiating offerings in a competitive market. She plays a pivotal role in shaping go-to-market strategies in partnership with sales and marketing.

Sarah has found deep alignment with Kenway’s culture, which is rooted in the company’s core philosophy: “To Help and Be Helped.” This belief in collaboration, vulnerability, and mutual support informs both internal relationships and client engagements.

Outside of work, Sarah enjoys traveling, skiing, and spending time with her husband and two sons.

Words of Wisdom

“Leadership is not about being in charge. It is about taking care of those in your charge.”

Why Women in Tech Matters to Me

Women in Tech provides a powerful space to mentor, support, and encourage women who may be navigating similar challenges in their careers. At Kenway, our mission “To Help and Be Helped” creates a culture where seeking and offering support is integral to success. WAT extends that same opportunity to connect, uplift, and grow alongside a broader community of women.
