Top SchoolSarah Filman is a certified leadership coach and facilitator who blends a decade-plus of tech leadership with play-based practices to help leaders and teams communicate, collaborate, and grow. Formerly a senior product and education leader at Microsoft and Code.org, she pairs product and organizational strategy with experiential learning to solve complex people and system challenges.
