Sarah Cox helps utility leaders make sense of messy, cross-cutting challenges and turn them into action. As Innovation Partnerships Manager at Northumbrian Water, she works across teams, suppliers, funders and partners to spot opportunities, connect the right people, and build routes from idea to adoption.
With experience spanning water, energy, infrastructure, local government, academia and high-growth SMEs, Sarah brings the perspective of a generalist who can join the dots others miss. Her work sits where strategy meets delivery: shaping partnerships, unlocking funding, improving commercial models and helping organisations move faster on the problems that matter most.
