Helping organizations build stronger leadership and navigate chage by understanding people and the cultures that shape how they work.

Hi! šŸ‘‹ I’m Sarah.

I'm a social and organizational psychologist, leadership development consultant, and executive educator with a PhD from New York University. I've spent more than a decade studying why people behave the way they do at work and helping organizations use those insights. My career has taken me from research in New York to leadership development, executive education, and consulting in Copenhagen.

One thing that runs through all of my work is an understanding that people don't operate in a vacuum. Their decisions and behavior are shaped by the cultures, expectations, and structures around them. Understanding those forces is often the key to making leadership development and organizational change work in practice.

I work with leaders, HR, and teams to:

  • Develop stronger leaders who make better decisions, build trust, and create the conditions for their teams to perform.

  • Understand and shape organizational culture, including the unwritten norms, expectations, and everyday practices that influence how people behave and work together.

  • Lead people through change, from organizational transformation to AI adoption, by understanding what enables people to learn, adapt, and embrace new ways of working.

  • Build high-performing workplaces by addressing decision-making bias and strengthening psychological safety, and ensuring more people can contribute their ideas and capabilities.

My work today

As Senior Faculty, Leadership & Culture at AVT Business School, I design and deliver executive education, tailored leadership programs, workshops, and keynotes for Danish and international organizations.

If you want to change what an organization achieves, you have to understand the people in it - and the culture and conditions shaping how they work. That's where my strength lies. I bring a deep understanding of human psychology and organizational dynamics to my work, along with the ability to make complex ideas accessible, engage leaders and teams where they are, and translate those insights into better decisions, stronger collaboration, and meaningful changes in how people lead and work.
