Sara Govero grew up in the small town of Crystal City, Missouri. As a competitive gymnast, she learned quickly that you don’t have to be the best; you have to train the hardest to be the most consistent. Sara applies this principle everyday. At age 19, Sara approached a bank, made an aggressive proposal and was able to purchase her first piece of real estate, and Govero Asset Management, a property management company, was born. Sara now owns a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio. At 20 years old, Sara graduated with a Masters in Legal Studies from Webster University. She now sits on Webster’s Arts and Sciences Board of Directors. After college, and while simultaneously managing Govero Asset Management, Sara has worked in the legal field since 2005 in multiple capacities including as a trial paralegal, revenue management, growth/change management, knowledge management, client relations, and overall firm operations. In 2010, Sara earned a MBA from Missouri Baptist University. Entrepreneurially, Sara has started two businesses – The Defense Collaborative and Strategic Solutions.
Sara serves as the treasurer for the Court Appointed Special Advocates of Jefferson County and created and funded its first endowed fund in 2021. She also created and funded both an endowed fund and a special care nursery at Mercy Jefferson Hospital. She recently named the Welcome Center & Lobby as part of Stray Rescue’s Capital Campaign, created an endowed fund for MindsEye, and she led her Leadership St. Louis 45 Class to create and fund the first ever endowed class scholarship.
