Sarah Saska
Dr. Sarah Saska is a socio-technologist, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Feminuity, where she has spent more than a decade partnering with over 200 organizations across 20 countries to embed equity into how organizations actually operate across workplaces, products, and systems.
Her work focuses on the systems behind workplace outcomes. During her PhD, she was among the early voices identifying how bias and exclusion are built into emerging technologies, leading to a defining insight: organizations cannot fix outcomes without addressing the cultures, incentives, and decision-making structures driving them.
She coined the concept of “diversity debt” in her 2017 TEDx talk, reframing equity as a structural and economic risk. Today, she advises leaders and contributes to research on the future of work, helping organizations rethink trust, retention, and performance through the lens of power and systems design, including collaborations with the Harvard Business Review and NASA.
A sought-after keynote speaker, Sarah has delivered talks in more than 20 countries and works directly with senior leaders navigating complex organizational change. She has been named to Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women three times and serves on advisory boards for the Morrissette Institute for Entrepreneurship, Western University’s School for Advanced Studies in the Arts and Humanities, and the Kids Help Phone Accelerator.
She brings conviction and curiosity to her work, with strong opinions that are loosely held.
