Sarah Rose

I’m Sarah, a Fractional Chief People Officer and organisational strategist with over 25 years’ experience helping businesses scale and adapt to reach their full potential. I’ve worked with global brands, fast-growth scale-ups and founder-led organisations to build cultures where people and business grow together — smartly and sustainably.

My work sits at the intersection of leadership, organisational design and commercial outcomes. I help founders, CEOs and
executive teams navigate complexity, strengthen capability and create the conditions for high performance.

I’m known for being calm, commercially grounded and pragmatic — someone who brings structure to ambiguity while keeping people, the heartbeat of any successful organisation, at the centre of every decision.

I partner with founders, CEOs and executive teams as a trusted advisor, strategic collaborator, and hands-on operator when needed. I work best with organisations that value partnership, transparency and thoughtful challenge.

Scaling Organisations
Designing structures, roles and operating rhythms that support growth and deliver on the vision.

Leadership Development
Strengthening executive capability, alignment and effectiveness.

Culture & Transformation
Shaping cultures that are resilient, inclusive and built for collective performance.

People Strategy
Embedding pragmatic, high-impact people practices that drive engagement and results.

Executive-level people and organisational leadership without the full-time overhead - from fractional CPO engagements to strategic advisory and hands-on transformation work.

Having scaled Miniclip from 127 employees in a single entity to a group of 10 companies employing 1,200+ people across 10+
countries - delivering a fivefold increase in revenue - I bring a proven record of building the people infrastructure that lets ambitious businesses grow sustainably.

I work best with organisations that value partnership, transparency and thoughtful challenge. My role is to help leaders see
clearly, act decisively, and create organisations built to last.
