Sara Crowe, Cams Email & Phone Number

Sara Crowe is a Senior Vice President of Global Financial Crimes Investigations and Intelligence at Citi. Previously, Sara was the Director of the Strategic Initiative on Financial Systems at Polaris, a U.S.-based non-profit working to end sex and labor trafficking in North America. In this role, she led Polaris’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) that leverages the reach, expertise, and motivation of the global financial sector to identify trafficking operations through their financial footprints, support criminal cases that mitigate the burden placed on victims to participate, and facilitate the financial restitution process — ultimately decreasing the profitability of trafficking while increasing accountability for the traffickers. To do this, the FIU generates new insights through a combination of in-house research and collaborative efforts with the financial services industry, survivors, law enforcement, and others in the anti-trafficking field. Sara also worked to bolster the financial resiliency of vulnerable populations and trafficking survivors through financial inclusion initiatives and advocates for responsible financing practices to incentivize businesses to implement strong worker protections. Before leading the Polaris FIU, Sara was the Director of the Data Analysis Program at Polaris and has held several positions within the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline. She holds an M.A. in conflict resolution from Georgetown University and a B.A. in political science from Wake Forest University.
