Sara Roberts has spent fifteen years building and advising health ventures across the UK, Europe and Africa. After losing her father to a preventable illness, she built her career around one question: who pays to keep people well?
She founded Healthy Nibbles and grew it from her kitchen to £10m ARR. It supplied Transport for London, Vitality and Mercedes AMG Petronas F1, and won B Corp certification and the Queen’s Award for Sustainable Development along the way. Before that she founded Visergy, an innovation agency working across Sub-Saharan Africa and the Gulf.
Today she runs Well Purposed, a commercial strategy practice for funded health, prevention and longevity companies, built on her VITAL Framework©. She is Global Concept Advisor to the International WELL Building Institute, sits on the Henry Royce Institute’s MATcelerate HEALTH Investment Committee, is a non-executive director at Youmi and chairs Cabal Edinburgh, a peer group for founders and chief executives. A LinkedIn Top Voice in health, she is writing The Prevention Economy, with a foreword by Lord Bethell.

Pricing the Invisible
Forthcoming 2027 · Foreword by Lord James Bethell, former Health Minister
Health systems around the world are built to pay for illness. The Prevention Economy makes the commercial case for paying to keep people well, and shows founders, investors and leaders where that money already sits.
