Brandactive Equity, Diversity, Inclusivity

Hi, I’m Sarah. At BrandActive, I serve as a member of the EDI steering committee and leader of some internal functions including the People team. I’ve been at the organization for almost five years, and what’s kept me here is the ability to be my authentic self in all aspects of my role. Recognizing my privilege in being able to do this, part of my inspiration in my inclusion journey is to enable others to bring their full selves to work, understanding and dismantling barriers and encouraging the celebration of what makes each of us unique. I’d love to work with you to continue to further the organization’s inclusion journey.
