Sarah Kydd
CSO
Sarah manages many of the day-to-day administrative and operational functions for Bluum, spearheading many new strategic initiatives to support the company’s growth, including oversight of reseller sales and customer service.
In 2020, Sarah led the efforts to accelerate the opening of Bluum’s 80,000-square-foot facility in Dallas, which helped expedite the distribution of Chromebooks and charging carts to schools needing devices for remote and hybrid learning. The facility also handles repairs and shipping for Bluum’s SHIELD protection program, which ensures Chromebooks and other laptops remain functional and in circulation during a time when demand for mobile devices is at an all-time high.
Armed with an MBA from Northwestern's Kellogg School of Business, her mission is to provide technology access to as many students and teachers as possible. Her dedication to that mission prompted her to apply for and recently receive a Kids in Need Foundation Board of Directors position.
