# Sage Strategies LLC

> Sage Strategies is a Sacramento management consultancy founded in 2021 by former California state executive Sonya Harris. Its 15-person team works across strategic counsel, regulatory navigation, leadership development, crisis response, campaign management and program evaluation, mostly for public agencies, nonprofits and organizations operating near government. Its advantage is practical fluency in how California institutions and communities behave; its most visible test has been proving that behind-the-scenes counsel can also withstand front-of-room scrutiny.
