SATAVIA
HAZLEY AUSTIN
HOUSTON, TEXAS
A life built on honoring our shared humanity.
CREATING. LEADING. INVESTING. SERVING.
Satavia Hazley Austin is a creator, entrepreneur, investor, author and philanthropist whose work sits at the intersection of executive leadership, faith and service. She founded and led two healthcare companies through successful acquisitions.
Grateful for the journey. Inspired by what’s next.
THE WORK
Four things, carried at once.
Creating
Books, ideas, businesses, memorable experiences, community initiatives, beautiful spaces and meaningful conversations. The best chapters are still being written.
Leading
More than two decades of experience in executive leadership, healthcare, entrepreneurship and business development. Building teams, guiding growth and leading with purpose.
Investing
Business ownership, real estate and emerging opportunities. A commitment to ideas, people, education, family and community.
Serving
Caring for others and creating opportunities for people who might otherwise be overlooked through philanthropy, education, advocacy, mentorship and the work of Starworks Foundation.
FAITH IN ACTION
Love, put into action.
“Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”
Matthew 25:40, KJV
My faith is the foundation of how I live, lead and serve. Guided by Matthew 25:40, I believe that caring for others is an expression of my love for Christ. I seek to put that belief into action by honoring each person's dignity, supporting those in need and serving with compassion and purpose.

Serving, built to grow.
Starworks
Foundation
A Houston nonprofit built around education, empowerment, opportunity and community impact, supporting vulnerable individuals and families. Its programs address aging, caregiving, scholarships, health and emerging community needs — and the foundation is designed to evolve as those needs change.
Its newest program, Mimi's Memory in Action, was inspired by Satavia's grandmother. It funds one-to-one, non-medical care for people living with Alzheimer's and other dementias, and gives their family caregivers relief. Every $25 gives an hour of care.
Community Leadership and Service
Satavia serves on the executive board of The Doll Foundation. She also supports the Ivy Educational and Charitable Foundation of Houston through its scholarship programs and annual fashion show.

What brings me joy.

Some of my favorite moments are spent cheering on my boys, enjoying time with my husband and gathering with the people I love.
