Sarah Olivieri is the change you’ve been searching for. The breath of fresh air that will reinvigorate your organization and reignite your spark of joy for the impact you can have.

Sarah has been called a “Business Alchemist” in the nonprofit space; others have called her “The Money”.

She’s the wizard behind the curtain who has orchestrated the transformation of nonprofit organizations, from failing to thriving, which never fails to make the jaws drop of for-profit business experts. “Nonprofits are businesses too”, she tells them, “but they have a more complex business model, so everything that works in nonprofits also works really well in for-profit businesses, but not everything that works for for-profit businesses will work for nonprofits”.

As the former director of 3 nonprofits and founder of 5 for-profit businesses, she understands, deeply, the challenges and complexities facing organizations. But she has a fundamentally different way of looking at things; an ability to see a kernel of opportunity, to flip a problem on its head, to understand which levers to pull for success. And those abilities have helped her salvage, soothe and shape countless nonprofits and lift them from the brink of insolvency to become thriving, profitable, impact-making businesses.

She’s brought nonprofits back from the brink of insolvency. She’s averted major cash-flow crises, solved funding droughts, resolved board conflicts, and everything in between with her capacious knowledge and unstoppable energy.

Sarah, who is also an international best-selling author and globally renowned speaker, is the creator of the Impact Method™ - a framework she designed and built from the ground up, to help organizations simplify their operations, build aligned teams, and make a bigger impact without getting overwhelmed or burning out.

Her company, PivotGround supports nonprofits to become financially sustainable world-changers and she has an incredible 100% success rate.

Sarah is passionate about empowering nonprofit leaders to achieve the impact they dreamed of when they joined and to reignite the spark of joy so often snuffed out by the realities of operating under the immense pressures and responsibilities of leading a nonprofit.

Direct but gracious, down to earth, brilliant, witty and wise, Sarah is not afraid to (compassionately) tell you if you’re making a mistake or to elegantly and delicately help you re-engineer your leadership team’s responsibilities. She has the kind of brain-power and clarity of thought that will help you cut right to the heart of what’s needed and she’ll support you to make the changes that will transform the impact you AND your organization will have.

Her success in business is driven by the same key ethos which has made her an award-winning sailor; the recognition that there are exponential gains to be made by iterating on what works, by staying focused and resilient (even when you feel like quitting) and by being highly intentional in everything you do.
