Sara Macdonald

Chief Technology Officer at Carbon Asset Solutions

I started my career as a computer science teacher, which gave me a strong foundation in breaking down complex concepts and communicating technical ideas clearly. My promotion to IT director provided valuable exposure to how technology supports broader business operations, leading me to pursue project management studies that transformed my career trajectory from hands-on technical work to strategic leadership.

I exited my first business as a co-founder through an IPO in 2017. I now have extensive experience as a team leader, project manager, and business analyst across several tech companies. I leverage my expertise in software engineering and strategic leadership to drive technology initiatives that fuel business growth, with a specialty in scaling engineering teams and systems from startup to market success.
