Savon Sampson

Senior Director, Strategic Research

Prior to joining EAB, Savon spent over 15 years leading marketing and product strategy for Fortune 50 companies like Target and McKesson. She was known for the omni-channel marketing campaigns, product launches, and sales enablement strategies she designed and deployed across the marketing mix. Savon started at EAB in the Adult Learner Recruitment division where she developed innovative marketing, recruitment, and program growth strategies to foster adult learner enrollment and revenue growth for over 50 colleges and universities. As a member of the Strategic Research team, Savon leverages her expertise in and outside the sector to help colleges and universities develop and achieve short and long-term enrollment and financial sustainability goals.
