Kalshi – Head of Corporate Development
Sara’s Hot 50 recognition is long overdue. She has held key roles in the gaming industry for almost 20 years, most notably as senior vice president of public affairs at the American Gaming Association (AGA) between 2014 and 2019. During her time at the AGA and later as founder of Slane Advisory, Sara helped to create the US sports betting industry that we see today.
Serving at Kalshi since April 2025, Sara’s latest challenge is to ensure that Kalshi’s prediction markets offering can continue to include sports event contracts. She has always been a strong advocate of regulated gaming and recently helped to create the Coalition for Prediction Markets to defend against state efforts to outlaw sports event contracts.
Having successfully lobbied for the repeal of PASPA and helped to deliver some of the first market access deals between sports teams and betting, no one is better placed to take on this latest fight to shape the sports betting landscape in the United States.
