Episode Synopsis

Sarah Danzig began her career in the fast-paced world of finance, working in sales and trading and asset management at top banks like Deutsche Bank and Citigroup after graduating from Cornell. But after years on Wall Street, she felt a pull toward something more mission-driven — and when she approached her former school about helping with fundraising, they created a role just for her: Director of Alumni Giving.

That shift sparked a new chapter. Today, Sarah runs Team 74, a nonprofit consulting agency where she helps philanthropic causes grow their impact. In this episode, she shares what it was like to pivot from Wall Street to the nonprofit world, how she balances career and community, and what drives her as a Jewish professional and mother committed to giving back. It’s a thoughtful look at how skills from the boardroom can be used for something much bigger.
