As a female leader always surrounded by men, Sarah Foss brings a direct, let’s-do-what’s-not-been-done-before passion to Tech Bae. A seasoned executive, she knows the only way to make change is to, well, make it happen. (Or, as she likes to remind her co-founders, it’s not being bossy, but aggressively helpful.) She loves her sports, especially watching her athlete daughter, and hasn’t traveled anywhere lately that doesn’t have a river for rowing. (Shown here at Mercer Lake, New Jersey.)
Sarah is the Chief Technology Officer of Audacy, a leading multi-platform audio content and entertainment company. As Audacy’s first CTO, she sets the company’s technology strategy for innovation, differentiation, and scale, overseeing all aspects of Audacy’s technologies and infrastructure.
With more than 25 years of experience, she possesses a deep understanding of the media technology landscape. Prior to Audacy, she held executive positions at FreeWheel/Comcast, Imagine Communications, and other global technology companies. Having started in broadcast engineering, she has now experienced three seismic shifts in media tech including transition to digital, software-as-a-service/cloud, and now AI/Gen AI. Foss has received numerous awards as a technology or media leader for her contributions to the field; she is an author of one patent.
