Sarah helps the Tenzing portfolio companies understand HR and how to get the most out of the People & Culture. She also runs Insights Discovery, a way for our teams to increase their self-awareness and communicate better with everyone around them. Her passion is to have people in the right roles and teams that are engaged and working super effectively.

Her last three People & Culture Director roles span the Media/Events, Construction and Employee Survey industries, and she has over eight years of PE experience.
