She’s best known as the founder and host of Let’s Talk Supply Chain™, one of the top 1% most downloaded podcasts globally — but her journey to becoming a voice in the industry didn’t come easily. After working in her family business for over a decade, Sarah lost her job, sold her house, and found herself at a personal and professional crossroads.
Instead of staying silent, she picked up a mic.
Since then, she’s built a powerful platform dedicated to amplifying voices that often go unheard — particularly women and underrepresented communities. Through her Women in Supply Chain™ series, Blended podcast, and nonprofit Blended Pledge, Sarah continues to create safe spaces where vulnerability leads to real transformation.
