The Exit

Among everything Sara Hirsh Bordo has done in her career, from being a marketing executive at Paramount Pictures and MGM Studios, the owner of several acquired businesses, and a 15x award-winning filmmaker, she might now mostly describe herself as an impact-focused creator.

Through her production company, Women Rising®, which was named as one of the most “Innovative, Interesting, and Purpose-Driven Women-Led Startups to Watch” by Inc Magazine, Sara has used her storytelling skills to become an advocate and a mentor for female founders and women-led companies.

While her exits are accomplishments in themselves, she defines her success in entrepreneurship more as building something behind messages she believes are needed.
