Background

About Sara Lobo

I am a strategic communications professional with 8+ years of experience helping high-impact organisations, social enterprises, and international clients build visibility, trust, and momentum. My work spans venture philanthropy and entrepreneurship, tech-driven human rights advocacy, environmental law, and government advisory — with a focus on translating complex missions into clear, results-driven communications that unlock funding and deliver real-world change. I have led brand, media, and stakeholder engagement strategies; developed integrated campaigns; built donor pipelines; and advised government stakeholders in high-pressure contexts. Whether delivering a major gala fundraiser or crafting a grassroots storytelling campaign, I bring both strategy and execution — grounded in a deep belief in locally-led solutions. My experience has been globally-focused and involved work with colleagues and partners across the UK, MENA, West and Central Africa, South Asia, the Pacific and Caribbean regions, Europe and the US. I believe strategic communications can strengthen both social outcomes and organisational growth — and see real value in multidisciplinary approaches that bridge business planning, fundraising, marketing, storytelling and locally-rooted partnerships.
