"That feeling of being on top of the world-quite literally-was a very fleeting moment. I thought I was invisible at that point."
"I thought I needed to save myself. I shouted for help, but no one came."
"By some miracle, I was still conscious."
"I should have died 10 times that night."
Sarah de Lagarde suffered a catastrophic tube accident after slipping on a wet platform, falling through the gap, and being struck by two trains that crushed her right arm and right leg. She remained on the tracks, intermittently conscious, until someone raised the alarm and emergency services transported her to a trauma center 45 minutes later. She survived against overwhelming odds and undertook a prolonged recovery supported by loved ones, colleagues, and company executives. During recovery she proposed a bold new role to leadership and returned to her company with a mission to change its approach to healthcare, AI, and empathy.
