Sarah O’Leary: CEO of Willow Innovations

Sarah O’Leary is the CEO of Willow Innovations, the inventors of the first wearable breast pump. She began her career as a consultant for private equity clients, learning firsthand how businesses make big decisions and developing her problem-solving skills. She then made the switch from advising companies to helping run them when she went to work for a client. O’Leary transitioned into brand development and growth in the e-commerce and retail space at companies of all sizes, refining her skills. Willow Innovations reached out to her to recruit her shortly after she became a mom. The offer came while she was navigating postpartum life and reconsidering how she wanted to invest her time. She accepted Willow’s offer because she believed in the company’s commitment to showing up for moms like her. O’Leary joined as the company’s vice president of growth, helping expand Willow’s product offerings and its identity as a brand that supports moms beyond breast pumps. The results she drove and her years of experience made her the perfect candidate for the role of CEO when the time came to select a new one.
