Sarah Harden is the founder of Alma Socia, through which she invests in, advises and collaborates with leaders and organizations working to advance the creative, cultural and economic power of women and girls.
Alma Socia is the next step in a career that has seen Harden building companies in cultural blind-spots – those areas where the work, power, health and lived experience of women and girls has been structurally undervalued.
As CEO of Hello Sunshine, the media company founded by Reese Witherspoon, Harden built the company from inception into a global media brand on a singular mission: to change the narrative for women. Under her leadership Hello Sunshine produced acclaimed series including The Morning Show, Big Little Lies and Daisy Jones and the Six, and the influential Reese's Book Club which anchored a direct-to-consumer reach of 150 million weekly, and culminated in a landmark $900 million sale to Blackstone in 2021.
Harden is active in women’s sports, serving as a board member of Angel City Football Club where she was a founding investor, and on the Governing Board of the National Women's Soccer League. She is an LP in Monarch Collective, one of the largest dedicated investment funds exclusively focused on women’s sports, and an angel investor in more than 30 female focused companies. She also serves on the board of Magnite (NASDAQ: MGNI), the world's largest independent sell-side advertising company.
Prior to Hello Sunshine, Harden was President of Otter Media, a joint venture between AT&T and The Chernin Group, where she led investments in global video platforms including Crunchyroll and Fullscreen, and led the company to a $1.56 billion sale to WarnerMedia.
Harden graduated from the University of Melbourne and Harvard Business School, where she was named a Baker Scholar.
