Sarah Riggio

Sarah never expected to love finance—that is, until she experienced the strategic puzzle hiding behind the numbers.

After studying vocal music education at the University of Indianapolis (where she met her husband Will, a fellow music major), Sarah transferred to IU’s Kelley School of Business, majoring in HR Management, Business Management, and International Studies.

“Finance for me is like a puzzle that’s always changing. You’re constantly evaluating individual pieces to see how you can make them fit better to create the big picture the organization is striving for.”

While she initially envisioned herself in enterprise HR, a finance-heavy role at a local law firm sparked the passion she’s pursued ever since. Today, as SVP of Finance and Operations at Element Three, Sarah does far more than crunch numbers—she’s architecting the systems and strategies that help E3’s specialized B2B2X work hum.

From implementing work management operations to establishing production KPIs that actually matter, Sarah is driven by making the complex clear and building systems that help everyone work smarter.

When she’s not in the office, you’ll find Sarah traveling abroad with her husband, Will. They’ve visited twenty-two countries together and maintain a scrolling spreadsheet of future destinations—all while raising their two daughters.
