Sarah El-Atm works at the intersection of law, marketing, technology and the arts, with a sustained focus on how multidisciplinary teams perform under pressure. Her work centres on a clear observation: multidisciplinary teams rarely fail because of structure. They strain when the integration work required to hold different forms of expertise together is not deliberately led. Sarah is a senior leader at August, where she leads complex cross-functional work across professional services, legal, health, non-profit and technology sectors. She partners with managing partners, executives and practice leaders who are building teams across disciplines and navigating competing incentives, languages and performance demands. She is also the host of the award-winning podcast This Multidisciplinary Life, which explores how leaders build and sustain multidisciplinary teams, with a particular focus on the legal profession. Through these conversations, she examines how decision rights, incentives, language and accountability structures shape performance in modern professional services environments. Alongside her executive role, Sarah consults, speaks and publishes on multidisciplinary leadership, organisational design and sustained performance under pressure.
