Sarah Hurrell, Managing Director
Sarah started playing chess at four years old and it still impacts the way she
works today - always evaluating alternative strategies in parallel, and quickly
identifying the potential winners. This has proven invaluable when driving
transformation, coaching people to their next level, consulting, facilitating, training
and designing and implementing strategy. Whatever she turns her hand to,
delivering results and exceeding expectations are Sarah's stock-in-trade.
Throughout her career in large corporates, Sarah has taken advantage of the
opportunities to change discipline, division or geography every two to three years.
This has given her a raft of skills and experiences, often in bleeding edge
business areas. In over twenty years at ICL, Fujitsu, Equant and Orange
Business Services she has worked in the software, services, internet and
telecoms industries in Asia, Europe and the USA. Her roles have covered
software design, services development, web, general management, sales,
outsourcing, programme management, new business set up, M&A, processes,
operations, products, strategy and international assignments.
Sarah loves being thrown in at the deep end, relishing new challenges. Business-
focused, practical and operational, Sarah has a hands-on style, and can operate
at a strategic or detailed level. She enjoys creating structure from uncertainty,
and isn't afraid to deep dive into areas that many would prefer to ignore.
Recognising the value of relationships and positioning in complex organisations,
and being naturally friendly, she excels at engaging the wider audience and has
built up a large network of senior contacts over the years. By harnessing the
strengths of all the key players, she quickly builds consensus and plots a course
for shared success.
While Sarah hopes this gives you a flavour of what she's about, she'd much rather
be talking to you about your business than blowing her own trumpet. You can get
