Sarah Moran

CEO & Co-Founder Girl Geek Academy

Sarah Moran is co-founder of Girl Geek Academy, a movement to bring one million women and girls into technology careers by 2030. Sarah established Girl Geek Academy in 2014 alongside four fellow co-founders, as a place to learn, connect and inspire change.

Working to shift the way political leaders, schools, young girls and professional women think about and practice STEM, Girl Geek Academy is for girls from the age of five right through to 95.

Girl Geek Academy ran the world’s first hackathon for women, #SheHacks, in 2014, has worked with more than 1000 teachers in delivering the Australian National Digital Technologies Curriculum, released the “Girl Geeks” series of middle-grade fiction books with Penguin Random House about girls exploring the world of STEM, and most recently built a community of more than 2000 high school girls learning A.I. in partnership with Microsoft.

Sarah also supports emerging women entrepreneurs as a judge of the Australian Women’s Weekly Woman of the Future Awards.

As an early adopter of electric vehicles, she is also working closely with the Electric Vehicle Council to lobby for policy change to rapidly increase the uptake of EVs in Australia.
