Sara Panjwani

Hey, I'm Sara.

My superpower is connecting consumer insight to bold brand strategy — and then operationalizing it across teams, properties, and channels. I've spent my career doing exactly that across global companies in F&B, technology, media, and hospitality: partnering with C-suite leaders, launching new brands, and driving firmwide growth. During my MBA at Kellogg, I've sharpened those instincts alongside industry veterans and growth-stage founders, learning how to build faster and think bolder for brands at the intersection of consumer experience, AI, and marketing.
