About Sarah:
After a 30-year career in advertising, Sarah Dale created Project 1490 by combining her years in leadership with her experiences living in Montana. She's been fortunate to work at great brands like The Wall Street Journal, Fortune and Nativo where she led big teams and drove hundreds of millions in revenue. She's been awarded a Cannes Lions, two D&AD Pencils, Folio's Top Women in Media and the Stevies' Gold Maverick Award. 

While she's had an impressive career, Sarah's love of nature and experiences in the wilds of Montana are what started her wish to get other corporate women to build their own badassery and confidence by learning outdoor skills. Project 1490 now provides the opportunity not only for women to have a unique, outdoor experience that helps them go beyond who they think they are, but they can also build their corporate networks and confidence and have a ton of fun in the process.
