About Natalie Sharfertz

I’m a program manager at Microsoft focused on building clear systems, processes, and learning experiences that help people grow. Outside of my corporate work, I serve on the Hadassah Seattle Board and help lead Evolve, where I design programs that strengthen connection, leadership, and community among Jewish women.Across all my work, I bring a strategic approach grounded in planning, communication, and execution. I’m energized by initiatives that bring women together, develop new leaders, and create meaningful impact across the community.
