With her industry, consulting and board experience, Sharon is able to partner with clients and their teams to assess their business models and identify opportunities for growth and expansion.

Management & Board Governance

Effective leadership and adept corporate governance have long been key ingredients in achieving a vibrant business. What we believe needs to change is the emphasis on the kind of DNA it takes to lead, grow, sustain progress and innovation. We think it goes even deeper impacting what leadership should expect from their management teams especially in the new normal of the unpredictable economic and regulatory environments.

Our belief is that in working with our clients, we can help them identify and develop leaders who are comfortable being uncomfortable vs. maintaining the status quo or playing defense.

While filling leadership roles with subject matter experts, or occasionally adding a diverse director to the roster was enough; it often serves as simply embracing the status quo. For growth to be both viable and sustainable will assist in identifying those leaders who not only have the requisite expertise but the intellectual and mental capacity to proactively push through the challenges, motivating and encouraging others to do the same. This is an important step in making our businesses and our boardrooms even stronger. We are here to help our clients address this important challenge.

Brand & Competitive Positioning

The economy, and more broadly, the world marketplace is immersed in an ongoing evolution of technology, digital platforms, B2B and B2C engagement, data compilation and analytics and communication through diverse forms of socialization. With a passion for technology, data and unrivaled insights and experience, S|R|EVOLVE is at our best when identifying opportunities right alongside navigating the challenges.

Establishing a modernized identity is a process that must serve the longer-term but be flexible enough to pivot as times and conditions change. With that in mind we work with clients to establish market position by:

• Leading comprehensive analysis of people, product and leadership opportunities/gaps

• Selling, exiting, transferring product and service offerings

• Identifying current and future target markets and distribution strategies

• Instituting modern performance-driven culture with new standards, performance metrics, and oversight

• Liaising with bankers on behalf of client to evaluate M&A opportunities

S|R|EVOLVE is actively involved in helping our clients identify sources of financial and intellectual capital. We make connections to facilitate optimal results and accomplish stated goals. Outside investor preparation is critical to this scope of our work. Working through potential partner selection, determining the best fit and setting our clients up to address the challenges endemic to these meetings are how we get our clients over the goal line. We have navigated the spectrum of investor relationships from angel, VC, PE, IPO and other creative capital endeavors.
