Sarah Esau

I'm an HR leader with over a decade of experience guiding organizations through growth, transformation, and culture building. My career has spanned both Canadian and U.S. markets, where I’ve led strategic people initiatives across diverse industries. I specialize in employee and labour relations, leadership coaching, compensation strategy, talent development, and building inclusive, high-performing workplaces.

What drives me is the belief that when people feel valued, heard, and empowered, organizations thrive. I’m passionate about creating environments where employees can bring their whole selves to work and where leaders are equipped to support, grow, and retain top talent.

Whether partnering with executives to navigate complex challenges, leading HR teams through change, or shaping programs that support equity and wellbeing, I bring a calm, thoughtful, and strategic lens to my work. I also believe in staying curious—I'm always seeking new ways to learn, grow, and make a meaningful impact.
