I’m Claire Sale, a communication and marketing professional with a career shaped by science, technology, and social impact. I focus on building meaningful connections, strengthening communities, and making complex ideas clear and accessible.
I live in Saudi Arabia and work at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), where I lead communication for the Biological and Environmental Science and Engineering Division. Over the past fourteen years at KAUST, I’ve worked across the University in roles spanning Community Life, KAUST Health, the Core Labs, and the President’s Office, always with an eye toward helping people understand the work that drives KAUST’s mission.
Before moving to the Kingdom, I worked on community-driven technology initiatives in the US and UK. I spent several years with NetSquared and founded Net2Camb in Cambridge, bringing together people who use technology for social good. Earlier in my career, I was a social media specialist at the American Red Cross National Headquarters in Washington, DC.
A consistent thread through my work is helping communities grow in ways that create real, lasting impact. Some of the projects I’m most proud of are the ones that have continued to thrive under new leadership, expanding their reach and influence.
