Sarah Lane Email & Phone Number

I am an experienced public sector professional with a history of working in the local government and higher education sectors. I am a natural collaborator who gets energy from working with others. To me, work is about people, and I always aim to bring warmth, humour and connection to my work. I am a no-nonsense doer, and love tackling the projects and tasks that move the agreed strategy forward. I particularly love doing this in support of purposeful work and visionary leaders. I’m a planner at heart and love working to a deadline. I usually have one eye looking forward, anticipating road blocks and opportunities, with the other staying in the day to day.
