Led by Sarah Verardo

At the helm of The Verardo Group is our President, Sarah Verardo. Sarah's personal experiences have fueled her dedication to causes close to her heart. Her unparalleled dedication to implement change and amplify the voices of those who need to be heard have made her a cornerstone of national and international organizations alike.

Inspired by her passion for veteran, ally, and caregiver support, she leads The Independence Fund, an organization committed to restoring the independence of wounded veterans. As founder of Save Our Allies (SOA), a non government organization that does precision rescue and expeditionary medicine in war torn areas, Sarah has been instrumental in the direct impact and assistance for Afghans and Ukrainians through SOA’s global missions.
Due to Sarah’s unique experience and knowledge, Sarah advises Administration officials and members of Congress and has been instrumental in shaping national policy.

At the heart of Sarah's belief that if you can help someone, you must help them, is her husband, retired Army SGT Michael Verardo, who endured catastrophic and life changing wounds in Afghanistan 13 years ago. By continuing Michael's mission to serve and protect, Sarah enables transformative growth and innovation to leaders and causes.
