Sarah Busch

Vice president of operations at LAndis constructions

Sarah Busch has worked in the construction industry for 24 years, all with Landis Construction Company. In her current role as Vice President of Operations, a title that she has held for seven years, Sarah focuses on project launches and is integral to the planning of each project, ushering it from Preconstruction and into the Construction Phase to ensure continuity of service. Having risen through the Project Management ranks over her years with Landis, Sarah calls upon her extensive practical and historical knowledge of the construction industry and its processes, as well as her strong relationships with the subcontractor, regulatory, and design firm sectors, to set each project up for success long before any work begins.

Mrs. Busch is a native New Orleanian with strong ties and commitment to her community. She is a proud graduate of Academy of the Sacred Heart High School, and Hollins University in Roanoke, VA where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. Sarah feels that her background in the liberal arts has been more of an advantage than disadvantage in the construction industry, preparing her with analytical thinking, persuasive communication, and problem-solving skills that she now uses on a daily basis. Sarah thoroughly enjoys mentoring young women in the industry, and giving back to organizations that focus on the investment, education, and uplifting of youth in New Orleans. She sits on the Boards of the New Orleans Architecture Foundation, My House, and unCommon Construction, and is a member of and active in many other industry-related and youth-empowerment-related organizations.

When she is not planning projects, Sarah loves to travel, knit baby blankets, and take advantage of the outstanding culinary scene in New Orleans. She and her husband, John, are parents to Jackson (17) and Wyatt (14) and three guinea pigs, and are recent transplants to their now beloved Algiers Point in New Orleans.
