She possess expertise in training, professional development programs, project management, legislative relations, community organizing and 45 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "Sara is a truly exceptional leader and it is such a joy and privilege to work for and with her. She is excellent at balancing high-level strategy and vision with energy and a commitment to execution. At her heart, Sara is an organizer, and community is at the center of everything she does. She directly influenced the relationship that Lyft had with communities of color, overseeing the team that created the racial justice alliances, LyftUp social impact programs, and drove Lyft's wholehearted commitment to its values in the wake of policies around abortion, voter suppression, and more. As a manager, she gets the best out of her team by providing full support, stepping back when appropriate, clearing obstacles, and always giving credit above all. Anyone would be lucky to work with Sara, and luckier still to work for her.", "Sara is hands-down one of the most inspiring, impact-driven leaders I’ve had the privilege to work with in my career. She is a visionary who has led initiatives and built systems that created long term legacies for both Lyft and communities at large - whether that be via universal access to the vaccine, access to voting polls, the Driver Defense Fund in response to the TX SB8 abortion law, or continuously advocating for our drivers. Equally as noteworthy is the way in which Sara creates impact. She is seen as a trusted voice from leadership, an expert within the policy space, and a critical partner to all. She lights up any conversation with her optimism for change backed by her expertise in driving meaningful advocacy and policy movements.", and "Sara has more unique head-and-heart talents than I've ever witnessed in a single executive. Her well-publicized success with community organizing and deep policy connections added immediate value to the business and the brand — and most importantly, carved out a lasting material impact on Lyft drivers and riders (e.g. response to TX SB8; COVID-19 preparedness and vaccine access rides; deepening our partnerships with communities and organizations of color). Her work ethic and velocity raised the bar, and even during high-stress projects Sara remained our calm center and made sure everyone was empowered to drive the work to completion or pivot where needed, and received a big thanks at the end. Sara is a classic "people person," equally skilled at presenting to our co-founders, giving 1:1 feedback to a new manager, interacting with our grassroots driver community or talking to policymakers or nonprofit partners. Her natural passion, curiosity and brainpower are unmatched — and highly contagious to those of us lucky enough to be in her proximity."
