Sara provides expert insight to JVP on aspects related to people and leadership strategy for our investments aligned to their growth strategy. Sara has served as co-thinker, advisor, mentor, and coach to CEOs and leaders across the U.S., Europe, and Israel over 4 decades — from scale-up to global market leadership. She brings unique experiences as a global authority on leadership, culture and performance gained over 4 decades of insight into how the world’s most successful software, SaaS, and AI companies built market-leading businesses, several of which are amongst today’s largest global tech firms. Her earlier career work with companies such as Oracle, Siebel, Salesforce, thereafter with creators such as Celonis and BluePrism, and JVP companies Qlik and CyberArk, involved supporting innovators to drive ambitious journeys from formative years through to market domination and in many cases IPO, on to continued growth as multi-billion-dollar market cap global leaders.
Alongside her ongoing relationship with JVP, Sara’s focus today is around pro bono work in support of Boardwave, an international social enterprise founded in the UK. Her pro-bono give back to CEOs of SaaS/AI companies is to support and equip CEOs with the knowledge and tools to scale internationally, achieve unicorn status, go public or secure high-value exits — ensuring they also play a leading role on the global stage of technology. She leads the Boardwave Italian Cohort and the Boardwave Pan-European SaaS and AI CEO Cohort, supporting the continent’s largest SaaS companies as they transition towards AI and exit.
