Initially, Sarah Larvor became involved in her profession 21 years ago because she started a career in internal communications which piqued her interest in how people behave and interact. For the past six years, she has served National Grid plc, and currently holds the position of global head of strategic communication and brand strategy. Throughout her work-week, Ms. Larvor oversees strategic communications and brand strategy functions, drawing upon her expertise in stakeholder communication and engagement, reputation management, and brand strategy.

Ms. Larvor attributes her success to her fascination with people and what makes them tick, as well as her willingness to take a chance on a new direction. There isn’t a single, stand-out moment that is specifically a highlight in her career, but all the times she has helped people to see what’s possible and how far they can push the boundaries are some of the most rewarding times. In five years, Ms. Larvor intends to continue promoting open, honest and transparent communication.
