Her innovative approach to agile coaching and product ownership generated $1.4M+ in cost savings while earning recognition as an IBM Agile Thought Leader and Enterprise Design Thinking – AI Teams Thought Leader.

At North Highland, Sharon continued this trajectory, leading enterprise-wide transformations that balanced strategic frameworks with the human side of change.
