Sarah Hathorn, AICI CIP, CPBS
Professional Image Consultant & Brand Strategist
Sarah Hathorn, AICI CIP, CPBS is a certified image consultant; corporate and personal brand strategist, speaker, trainer, and author. In 2006 she launched her own successful business, Illustra Image Consulting.
“Working with Sarah has done so much for my confidence, career, and leadership abilities that I wish I had invested in this type of professional development image coaching sooner.”
As a former fashion industry executive for Macy’s, Sarah is one of the first and only people in the world to bring decades of senior management experience to the Certified Image and Branding Consultant profession.
A pioneering and visionary innovator, Sarah is also one of the only professionals in her field to specialize in image and branding services that are tailored exclusively to the needs of Fortune 500 corporations and their senior executives.
Sarah delivers uniquely inspiring and effective personal training and corporate seminars to boost brand image and empower top-tier leadership within large organizations including Fortune 500 companies.
In doing so she brings more than 20 years of corporate savvy and recognized expertise in leading-edge image and brand management strategies to the table.
She provides results that include enhanced confidence and poise under pressure, improved and empowered personal brand presence, and clarification of unique personal value.
She increases career advancement opportunities by helping high achievers strengthen interpersonal skills, refine public speaking abilities, master professional business etiquette, and project personal brands and corporate capabilities to distinguish themselves to peers, clients, and upper management.
In addition to running her own consultancy business, Sarah also writes a popular blog; crafts and delivers keynote speeches, and is the author of a newly released book, Image Power.
Her inspiring and entertaining style of communication; extensive background as a fashion industry executive, and depth of knowledge as an image and brand expert combine to ensure that Sarah is a speaker and consultant in high demand.
Before launching Illustra in 2006, Sarah honed her skills in retail management and rose rapidly through the ranks with Macy’s Inc.

Sarah learned firsthand how essential it is to consistently project a professional image and maintain leading-edge personal brand management.
Through hands-on experience she also possesses a realistic perspective and personal empathy to guide her when working with clients who have been significantly impacted by developments in their professional or personal lives.
