Experience Snapshot

Navy Pilot & Officer

"Eleven years leading aircrews where trust, discipline, and clear decision making were everything."

Sarah spent 11 years in the United States Navy leading aircrews in demanding environments. In her final assignment, she served as Executive Officer of the President's Emergency Operations Center, leading a joint-service team of high performers in one of the most critical response centers in government. The work demanded calm leadership, decisiveness, and sustained performance under pressure—and shaped a leadership philosophy centered on discipline, clear communication, and developing leaders who can think and act independently.
