FOUNDER & CEO

Inspired with a vision to create a powerful community for women leading change, Sarah founded the Women In Change network in August 2022.

As an experienced change leader herself across the MOD and consulting fields, Sarah noticed the absence of a dedicated platform for women in change to connect, support, and empower one another.

Sarah's leadership has propelled the network's growth, including organizing the successful inaugural summit, bringing in new members and securing invaluable sponsorship. Her inclusive and warm approach ensures that every member feels welcomed and empowered to get involved. In her day-to-day role, Sarah is Principal Consultant for PA Consulting in their Change and Capability Practice.

CO-DIRECTOR, COO & CMO

Rebecca joined Women In Change as Co-Director in July 2023, after being inspired and excited by the vision Sarah had begun to build.

Rebecca is a shaper. Though her core skills are in leadership development and culture change, she brings a diverse skill-set in start-up operations, branding and social media marketing that will enable WIC to achieve its vision to grow into a sought-after, thriving professional network that empowers and unites women.

Previously, Rebecca drove organisational change, culture and leadership transformation at bp, before founding her own leadership development company, Deepen. She coaches executive leaders, and consults with organisations in how to transform their leaders to influence successful change.

CO-DIRECTOR & HEAD OF GROWTH

Lou joined Women In Change as a founding member, while co-leading the BBC Culture Change programme, reigniting the BBC Values, building a new employee experience and driving organisational development.

With over 40 years of experience, Lou is a senior business leader who has co-ordinated many complex and challenging change programmes. She brings her strategic mind to the Women In Change team, plus an extensive and diverse network from all sectors. Lou has fantastic ideas and is ready to take Women In Change to the next level.

Day-to-day, Lou is still at the BBC co-leading the BBC Culture Change programme where she has been for the past 25 years.
