Sarah Sukumaran - Founder & CEO of Lilith NYC The co-lab career stories

    • Fashion & Beauty

Sarah Sukumaran was born and raised in Queens, NY. She is the founder and CEO of Lilith NYC, a sneaker startup launching Summer 2021. Sarah started Lilith NYC, largely motivated by the fact that women are overlooked by the sneaker industry and that the industry forces a very one-dimensional view of how women are to show up in sneaker culture. 

Most recently, she was Director of Product (Data Science and Models) at Nike where she was responsible for building and deepening a holistic view of Nike's consumers through data and analytics and applying those insights to inform the development and growth of digital services, content, and experiences for Nike’s consumers. She has spent most of her career in the Enterprise SaaS space, leading teams of product managers and engineers. Sarah has a BS in Business Management from Babson College.

Listen along as Naomi Usher chats with Sarah about her career.
