Sarah Davies

Sarah has had a broad and wide-ranging career from executive roles in tertiary education in Australia to private sector consulting in HR, marketing and strategy in Australia, Europe and the Middle East, and back in the dim dark ages in airport management.  For the last 16 years, her focus has been exclusively in the charity and for-purpose sector.  Sarah has been CEO of the Austrlaian Communities Foundation, Reach and Philanthropy Australia.

In March 2021 Sarah joined the Alannah & Madeline Foundation as the CEO – joining a highly committed and impactful community and team. The Foundation works to make sure children can grow up happy, safe and strong – in both their online and offline worlds, free from violence, and with the support and strategies they need to thrive.

In addition to her professional roles, Sarah also serves on several diverse Boards and committees.  Her current governance roles include Chair of the Australian Charities and Not -for-profits Commission (ACNC) Advisory Board, Deputy Chair of Teach for Australia, and Director of Social Ventures Australia.  She is also an Adjunct Professor at Swinburne University of Technology.
