Our story

Sarah Remis founded Breakwater after spending her career helping organizations bridge the gap between strategy and execution, both as an investor and as an operator. As a Managing Director at LLR Partners, she built and scaled the firm's Strategy function, supporting portfolio companies through multiple successful exits.

Earlier in her career, she developed her strategic toolkit at L.E.K. Consulting and later held operating and strategy leadership roles at PE-backed and growth-oriented businesses, where she was responsible for translating value creation plans into measurable business results.

Breakwater was founded to bring that same rigor, practical operating expertise, and execution focus to growth-oriented companies seeking to accelerate value creation and achieve lasting results.
