Sarah Lem

Board Member

Sarah holds over 17 years of experience in financial services at global investment banks. She began her career at Goldman Sachs before spending the last 15 years at RBC, where she currently leads US distribution of Equity Derivative solutions. Alongside her professional career, Sarah has dedicated 15 years to volunteering at her local animal shelter, providing essential care, exercise, and support for homeless pets.

As a board member at Veterinarians Without Borders North America (VWB), Sarah hopes to make a broader impact by leveraging her financial services expertise, network, and strategic insight to support sustainable solutions for global animal health. Whether through time, resources, or innovative ideas, she is committed to contributing in meaningful ways to advance VWB’s mission and create lasting change for animals and the communities that care for them.

A lifelong animal lover, Sarah dreamed of having a dog since childhood. That dream became a reality in college when she welcomed Truffles into her life—a companion who profoundly shaped her journey and inspires her passion for helping animals in need.
