Sara Osterholzer

Founder turned Fractional Chief of Staff who learned business in the trenches – from being the first employee in scrappy teams to building her own social enterprise from the ground up.

Sara didn't learn business from a textbook – she learned it by sitting in the weeds with founders, leading teams, and making her fair share of mistakes figuring it out. 

Over the last decade, she's moved from mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs at University of Sussex to co-founding The Good Business Club and supporting students and graduates to start purpose-driven businesses. She's discovered that growth isn't about heroic founders doing more; it's about building the right systems, rhythms, and trust so everyone can do their best work.

Now Sara works as the steady pair of hands (and head) that founders need when they're spinning 20 plates while putting out fires. 

Part operator, part sounding board, part translator of vision into action – she steps in to protect founders' time, turn big goals into structured plans, and spot challenges before they derail everything. 

Sara has been the founder lying awake at 3am and the operator building structure from scratch – now she gets to bring that hard-won experience to help other founders breathe easier.
