Sara Cardiff

PMP‑certified Program Manager with 10+ years translating creative and technical complexity into clear, human‑centered operations. I most recently led business operations for a 300+ person Xbox / Turn 10 Studios team on the Forza Motorsport franchise, supporting production, strategy, and overall studio effectiveness. I bring dual fluency in production and creativity — including independently writing, directing, shooting, and editing a documentary film — which shapes how I build systems people actually want to use and ensures my operational frameworks align with real creative workflows and team needs. Key achievements include a SharePoint rebuild that increased efficiency by 40%, deploying 22 Power BI KPI stations for senior leadership, serving as operational lead for a major franchise launch with a $250K budget, building DE&I and onboarding programs with 100% satisfaction, and managing a 200‑person studio relocation with zero downtime.
