Mary Elizabeth Sadd
SPEAKER, AUTHOR, CONSULTANT
Hi, I’m ME!
Hello there! I’m Mary Elizabeth although most just call me ME!
For more than 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of sitting across from extraordinary leaders and the organizations searching for them. In executive search, my work was about far more than filling roles—it was about connecting people to purpose, and watching how the right leader could transform not just a company, but the lives and futures of the people inside it.
Time and again, I witnessed the same truth: when people are the priority, leadership doesn’t just shape results—it shapes legacies. That realization has fueled my passion to share a message that has been forming over decades of conversations, placements, and life-changing leadership journeys.
My hope is to inspire leaders everywhere to put people first—because when you do, the legacy you leave will outlive you.
Much gratitude,
Mary Elizabeth (ME)
“Legacy isn’t built in boardrooms—it’s built in the lives of people you choose to elevate. When leaders put people first, their impact outlives them.”
