Sarah Lambertson

Founder & Principal Consultant

With over a decade of experience leading and consulting within nonprofits and mission-driven businesses, my strength lies right at the intersection of big-picture strategy and granular execution. I excel at walking back and forth between these two worlds: translating complex, messy organizational dynamics into streamlined business processes and clear technology needs.

Many of the teams I partner with find themselves at a critical transition point. They are being asked to scale their impact and reach ambitious goals, but increasing headcount simply isn’t an option. I dig deep into these environments to uncover the gaps between a team's vision and their day-to-day actions. By facilitating strong, multi-stakeholder communication and pushing intentionally on the "Why", I help organizations unlock their collective brainpower and move from merely working side-by-side to actively amplifying each other's work

My firsthand knowledge of lead teams, real experience seeing what works at national organizations, and walking teams step by step through transformational change all give me the ability to recognize the need for large and small changes simultaneously, and to translate the need and impact of change to a wide-range of stakeholders.

My clients appreciate my ability to synthesize many conversations concretely and to reframe the actual problem to be addressed. I become a trusted partner with a focus on boosting the internal capacity of the team, with the end goal of not being needed long-term.

I hold an MBA in Sustainability and design custom consulting engagements tailored to help mission-driven teams find their footing, reclaim their capacity, and scale effectively.
