ACA board director 2019/20: Sarah Dexter

Rounding off this week’s ACA Board of Directors feature with Sarah Dexter, CEO at MullenLowe South Africa

We asked her to blow her own ‘trumpet’ a little and tell us something most of us may not know.

THREE WORDS THAT BEST DESCRIBE YOU:
Tenacious, calm, British (!) 🇬🇧

DESCRIBE YOUR GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT IN LIFE OR CAREER:
I secured a global secondment (to SA) after only 2 years working, post degree – was supposed to be in SA for 2 years … that was in 1996
I have 2 lovely daughters who are thriving, in spite of my haphazard parenting skills and the fact that both parents work in the communications industry.

ONE THING MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU:
I can play the trumpet 🎺🎵
