“I have known Dr. Sarah Lewis for over a decade, working together at The Sustainability Consortium, where she held a variety of positions involving stakeholder and research leadership. The success that the Consortium has today is hugely due to her leadership. Sarah has deep passion about sustainability, and it defines both her drive and her values. She is a scientist, a teacher, a change agent, and a mediator, all at once. Sarah helps teams learn about systems and learn how to help one another.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Sarah Elaine Lewis in her role as the Innovation Program Director at The Sustainability Consortium (TSC). In this role Sarah leveraged TSC’s network of corporate, academic, civil society, and NGO stakeholders to scope and manage projects on science-based sustainability hotspots covering topics from responsible pest management to industrial wastewater treatment and packaging circularity. She also built The Sustainability Leadership Institute, a one-of-a-kind program to help sustainability professionals build their individual leadership capacity and mobilize others to drive meaningful impact. Her work at TSC has led to transformation on many scales, touching not just individuals, organizations, and communities, but entire systems.”
