Sara Loncka has built her career on a simple premise: the most powerful learning happens when you interrupt the expected. From leading the Coro Fellowship in Public Affairs, where emerging leaders tackled real civic challenges, to designing immersive LA expeditions for undergrad students that transformed the city into their classroom.

She's the kind of person who sees a dinner party as a chance to create an experience, not just serve a meal. Now, as CEO of Experience Institute, she partners with companies to design experiences that intentionally interrupt established ways of working — building the capabilities leaders need before they're urgently needed.

She's shared her work at SXSW and ATD, is a founding member of the Experience House Mastermind, an inner circle of experience designers and community builders crafting a more connected world, and serves on the external advisory board for NYU Stern's Initiative for Purpose and Flourishing.

When she's not working, Sara is stumbling through French, drafting a novel, or putting miles on her moped across Los Angeles.
