ABOUT THE TRAINER

Sarah is a strategist, impact evaluator, technology advisor, and data translator to mission-driven organizations. As a former IT Strategy Consultant with Accenture, she consulted for Fortune 500 companies and C-suite executives on leveraging the power of data and technology to provide invaluable insights and measure their impact. Previously, Sarah was the VP of Client Solutions at Treehouse Technology Group, where she oversaw client design, delivery, and data model development of analytics platforms.

Today, she empowers social impact organizations to create more impact by using the same methodologies and frameworks that empowered her for-profit clients to make more money. Sarah's non-profit clients come to her for help in transforming into a data-informed organization that allows them to compete better for donor dollars, grant awards, volunteer time, and community involvement. Sarah advises clients who are seeking impact measurement, program evaluation, grant reporting, data analysis and visualization, and the alignment of strategic plans to operational performance. She specializes in how to solicit stakeholder feedback at scale using technology to simulate 1:1 focus groups and interviews in a fraction of the time and budget.

Sarah has an MBA from the F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business at Babson College, and a BS in Business Administration and Finance from Northeastern University. When not serving those on the front lines of social impact, she's busy baking gluten-free goodies, being active outside, and playing with her two young daughters.


Michelle is a fundraising consultant based in NYC and Jackson, WY.

As the former VP of Development at Partnership Schools, a $30M/year education nonprofit for marginalized youth, she led the organization to achieve a fundraising milestone of $16M and supported its national expansion. Michelle's experience also spans roles at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, American Ballet Theater, Hospital for Special Surgery, and Madison Square Garden. She is the Founder of Cleopatra, a consultancy dedicated to equipping start-up nonprofits, especially those helmed by female founders, with the strategic and operational tools necessary for growth.

Michelle earned her BFA in Dance from Columbia College Chicago and is preparing to enter business school in September 2024.
