What Sarah is known for

Sarah Lindqvist is a COO who has run operations for logistics and supply-chain businesses for over 25 years, most recently at Verdant Logistics, where she oversaw a 600-person operation and rebuilt the order-to-cash process to cut cycle time 40% while lifting gross margin 11 points. She integrated two bolt-on acquisitions onto a single ERP, consolidated four warehouses into two automated hubs, and brought on-time delivery from 82% to 97%. Before Verdant, as VP of Operations at Halewood Freight, she built the S&OP cadence that the executive team still runs today. Sarah advises founders and PE-backed operators on scaling operations, building management systems, and post-merger integration.
