Meet The Founders

Lindsey Gardner and Angie Martin believe that when people are nurtured through thoughtful development, they unlock a deeper sense of purpose and possibility. Their partnership grew from a shared love of helping others grow – professionally & personally. With years of experience guiding executive teams, they’ve seen how the right kind of support can transform not only a career, but the way someone shows up in the world. Sapphire is their way of offering that kind of growth… practical, human-centered, and rooted in care. What began as a shared vision between two founders is now carried forward by a dedicated team, each member bringing their own warmth and insight to the work. That’s why Sapphire’s philosophy is simple: people first, always.
