Sara is co-creator of the Outcomes Stars. She leads on and is continually inspired by developing new versions for new sectors, as well as overseeing all the other ways Triangle can be helpful and support people to use the Star well.

Sarah joined Triangle in 2014 and manages the design, publishing and marketing of all things Outcomes Star. Before Triangle, Sarah worked as a strategist and consultant helping organisations such as the Co-operative Group, Virgin Atlantic and Microsoft to define their purpose, values and future plans.
