We’re excited to kick off the 2026 What a Career series with Sarah Coleman, NAWO Board member and respected leader across the mining, resources and technology sectors.
With more than two decades of experience, Sarah has built a career defined by cultural transformation, operational excellence, and innovative thinking. As former CEO of idoba, Perenti’s digital division, she led the development of cutting-edge mining technologies, data-driven decision tools, and programs that strengthened safety and performance across complex operational environments.
Her career spans executive strategy, organisational development, leadership coaching, and building successful ventures within the mining‑services ecosystem. Throughout it all, Sarah has been a passionate advocate for gender equity and inclusive leadership — championing initiatives that elevate women in technical and operational roles, foster psychologically safe workplaces, and support diverse talent pipelines for the future of work.
In this conversation with NAWO CEO Louise Weine, Sarah will share candid reflections on her career journey, the choices and challenges that shaped her, and the lessons she’s learned about leadership, influence, and impact.
This session is ideal for anyone looking to understand what modern operational leadership looks like — and how careers evolve at the intersection of technology, people, and culture.
What to expect:
🎤 Insights from Sarah’s diverse leadership career
💡 Reflections on navigating change, risk, and opportunity
🌱 A real-world look at inclusive and values-driven leadership
🤝 A supportive online space for learning and connection
