About Sarah Johnson

I am a mission-driven EdTech executive with a strong foundation in K–12 education and a passion for delivering high-impact solutions that elevate learning outcomes for all students—especially multilingual learners.At Summit K12, I lead cross-functional teams across Product Management, Content, Engineering, and Quality Assurance to build standards-aligned curriculum that closes achievement gaps and supports scalable adoption across multiple states.My work includes building and executing a product vision, optimizing engineering processes for LTI interoperability, and partnering directly with education agencies to ensure compliance and growth.Before entering the product space, I spent over a decade in the classroom, equipping me with a deep empathy for teachers and learners alike—and a user-first mindset that informs every decision I make.Let’s connect if you’re building equitable, learner-centered platforms or growing EdTech products that create meaningful outcomes.
