About me
- Sarah Emond


Establishing and leading an innovation centre for the United Nations taught me about sustainability, cross-sectoral collaboration and how to generate a lot from a little. 11 years in various leadership roles at Tetra Pak helped me develop into an experienced leader and facilitator with a global perspective and a versatile toolbox. Growing up in a family business taught me to take responsibility and how to run a business. ~10 years of dedicated inner work with my powerful mentor Karin Boucher helped me grow into an aware individual and a truly emphatic and communicative leader.

I turn complexity into clarity, passivity into energy, strategy into action. I enjoy exploring and impacting the big picture, but also drilling down to details where needed. I balance structure with creativity, brains with heart. I believe in collaboration, clarity, sustainability and having fun at work. I am a senior leader who loves creating new approaches / operating models / experiences / … , utilizing my experience, strong facilitation skills, creativity and high energy to make a difference.

I choose to work with people and organisations that sincerely wants to contribute to a better future. It doesn't matter if that work hasn't started yet, then I am here to help make it happen!

Key frameworks to use as
inspiration and guidance

The most important to do list ever. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. We are now half way through without seeing enough progress, so let's step up our game!

This is a foundation for building a strong and future-proof strategy for any company or organisation.

https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/

An impactful and much needed complement to the SDGs. Science-based skills and qualities that help us to live purposeful, sustainable, and productive lives. 

A global movement for bringing the power of inner development to all global challenges faced by humanity.  It is the greatest possible accelerator to reach the Sustainable Development Goals and create a prosperous future for all humanity. 

Because it all starts with you and me.
