Meet Sarah

The strategic layer most event teams are missing.

Herding Corgis was founded on a simple observation: most event agencies execute, but few think strategically. I bridge that gap.

My story

Because herding cats is too easy

I founded Herding Corgis and Event Strategy Method after spending years building and scaling event programs at high-growth technology companies.

I design experiences that don't just look good, but drive pipeline, accelerate deals, and create real customer advocacy. Beyond strategy, I'm a seasoned emcee and interviewer, equally comfortable guiding candid conversations with executives, customers, and high-profile voices as I am shaping the narrative behind the scenes.

I speak on stages around the world, advise C-suite leaders on how to show up with clarity and impact, and partner directly with event teams to elevate both their thinking and execution. I don't just support events — I step in as the strategic force that makes them matter.

When I'm not on-site at a conference or deep in event strategy, I'm at home in Scottsdale, Arizona with my husband and three corgis.

My principles

How I think about event strategy.

01

Strategy First

I start with business objectives, not logistics. Every event decision ties back to measurable outcomes and strategic intent.

02

Executive Perspective

I bring C-suite thinking to event programs. My frameworks are built for board-level conversations and cross-functional alignment.

03

Outcomes Over Outputs

I measure success by business impact, not attendance numbers. My KPIs tie to revenue, pipeline, and strategic objectives.

04

Tech & B2B Expertise

I specialize in the unique challenges of tech companies and B2B organizations — complex sales cycles, technical audiences, and high-stakes launches.

Work with me

Let's build something strategic together.

If you're ready to bring strategic thinking to your event program, let's talk. Every engagement starts with a conversation about your objectives and how I can help.
