About

I’m Sarah Bowling—an unconventional leader with a passion for turning complexity into clarity, and great ideas into revenue. With over a decade of experience at the intersection of sales, marketing, and business development, I’ve built a career helping OEMs, access control innovators, and security technology companies scale smarter, sell better, and stand out. Currently, I serve as VP of Sales, Business Development, and Marketing at Elatec Inc., a global leader in RFID and mobile credential technology. I oversee the entire Americas region, crafting go-to-market strategies that bridge the physical and digital worlds—from embedded RFID modules and mobile wallet credentials to strategic OEM integrations that drive growth and futureproof access. Before Elatec, I led revenue acceleration efforts at SAFR (RealNetworks), Wavelynx Technologies, and Eagle Eye Networks, where I built pipelines from scratch, launched category-shaping campaigns, and developed channel programs that unlocked multimillion-dollar wins. I’ve sold SaaS, hardware, and embedded tech into some of the most complex environments—from commercial real estate and higher ed to healthcare, manufacturing, and financial institutions. But what truly sets me apart isn’t just what I do—it’s how I do it. I lead with curiosity, empathy, and bold strategic thinking. I believe in making people feel seen, heard, and inspired to act. Whether I’m building a brand, launching a market campaign, or closing a marquee OEM deal, I bring the same energy: creative, authentic, and relentlessly focused on results. At heart, I’m a storyteller, a builder, and a connector. And my next chapter? It’s about growing from a powerful regional leader into a C-Suite executive who shapes industries, mentors future leaders, and leaves a legacy of innovation, integrity, and impact. Let’s connect if you’re passionate about reimagining the future of access—together.
