Episode 10: Sarah Fay Has Done It All

Sarah Fay has had several chapters in her career, and each one of them could have been a career in itself. She became the CEO of one of the largest digital agencies in the dot com era, was an early investor in AI at a prominent venture capital firm, and has helped a 100-year-old publisher reinvent itself for the AI age. Sarah truly is a change agent but has done that job with her trademark low key, self-effacing and collaborative style. Nice people truly do get ahead, and Sarah's trajectory and accomplishments are testament to that rule. Sarah tells the story of the numerous transformations she has helped to lead, from digital to AI, and is a great listen for anyone in any stage of their journey who is interested in modern business history, how to effect change, and how to lead. Sarah is a great listen and hope you enjoy.
