Meet Sarah Pomeranz, Founder and CEO of Consultants for Impact — a global network helping consultants transition from corporate strategy roles to purpose-driven careers in social impact, public service, and sustainability. After her own pivot from Accenture, Sarah has guided more than 800 professionals worldwide and worked with organizations from Chai to The World Bank.
In this episode, Sarah joins Michael Peres to unpack the journey from corporate consulting to entrepreneurship — and how COVID reshaped her sense of purpose. From launching initiatives inside Accenture to founding a thriving social-impact ecosystem, Sarah shares what it takes to build a meaningful career that aligns with your values.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why so many consultants crave impact-driven work — and how to find it.
• How Sarah transformed a side initiative into a global organization.
• The biggest mindset shift consultants need when becoming entrepreneurs.
• Why perfectionism can kill progress — and why “done is better than perfect.”
• How global crises like COVID can serve as catalysts for personal change.
