about
I live and work in California.
Hi! My name is Sarah Siwak. I started my career in Tokyo. I detoured from academia, bringing a love of research (into technology, labor, linguistics) to business, where I built growth programs from scratch at leading B2B software companies. I think nonstop about play, problem solving, and software.
