About Sarah Abella
I’m an innovation program leader with a background in biomedical and electrical engineering, and I thrive in cross functional environments where technology, people, and business meet. I’ve led global partnerships, shaped early stage product strategy, built Target Product Profiles, conducted VOC research, and guided innovation initiatives across diagnostics and emerging technologies.I’m completing my MBA in July 2026, deepening my skills in product management, customer centered decision making, and the use of AI tools to support clarity and execution.While much of my experience is in diagnostics and health technology, I’m equally energized by opportunities in consumer tech, retail, e-commerce, renewable energy, and more. I’m drawn to roles that require structured problem solving, customer insight, and cross functional leadership.I’m currently exploring product management, program management, and innovation roles in the Seattle area, ideally in collaborative environments. I bring technical fluency, strategic thinking, and people-centered leadership, with a track record of turning ambiguous ideas into executable plans.If you’re building something meaningful, I’d love to connect.
