SARAH HENNING

Managing Director, Office of the President

Sarah is Managing Director of the Office of the President at Eurasia Group, where she drives company president Ian Bremmer's geopolitical thought leadership, communications, and client and community engagement strategy. She is a member of Eurasia Group's management committee.

Sarah has twenty years of experience across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors in delivering outcomes at a global scale requiring the highest level of cultural and geopolitical understanding. She began her foreign policy career in public service as a diplomat with the US Department of State. In the Secretary's Office of Global Women's Issues, she focused on peace and security, economic equality, and public diplomacy—work recognized with the Department's Franklin Award. She also served in the Office of the Chief of Protocol, supporting high-level diplomacy through official diplomatic visits and summits including APEC, G8 at Camp David, NATO, bilateral presidential engagements, and diplomatic gift giving. In this capacity, she traveled globally with US Presidents and First Ladies to over 20 countries across five continents.

Sarah has deployed her deep understanding of diplomatic protocol, cross-cultural communication, and high-stakes logistics in senior roles across politics and philanthropy. She served on Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, where she was a member of the small team managing the vice-presidential selection and announcement and then served as Senator Tim Kaine's briefer during the general election. Sarah was also Director of Programming in the Office of Chelsea Clinton at the Clinton Foundation, advising on strategy, policy, and partnerships for initiatives focused on women and girls' empowerment, global and domestic public health, conservation, and national service.

Rooted in the values of hard work, discipline, and resilience instilled in her early years as a factory worker in Ohio, Sarah brings a career-long commitment to leadership, education, and service. She earned a master's degree in public policy and management from Carnegie Mellon University and a bachelor's in political science and Spanish from Furman University. She has taught in rural Spain, lectured at American University, and actively supports the growth of emerging leaders while giving back to the communities she serves.

In her free time, Sarah is perpetually on a side quest for an iced matcha latte and a Broadway performance.
