ABOUT SHARON BLACK

I have spent my career proving that the most ambitious business objectives – like launching new business units and scaling existing business units from under $500M to over $1B – are possible when you align people, strategy, and execution into a single, high-performing \"ONE team\" approach. I specialize in building the human infrastructure, leadership teams, and clear business strategies that turbocharge growth into organizations while empowering the high-performance culture that makes growth sustainable.Today, I serve as an Interim CEO, Board Director, Strategic Advisor, and Angel Investor for organizations navigating rapid change and the complexities of achieving substantial scale. I help leadership teams translate bold ideas and aggressive goals into sustainable results, ensuring growth is supported by a resilient operating model and a culture of accountability.My business perspectives are shaped by 30 years of successful enterprise leadership and my service on multiple boards including C200, WBENC, and the Colorado Ballet. Whether advising a disruptive technology startup, providing guidance to a luxury resort developer, or acting as a strategic advisor to a NYSE-listed company, I am driven by high standards, unwavering ethics, and deep belief in the value for the people behind the numbers.The moments I’ve enjoyed most in my career are those where I stepped into ambiguity and built a structure that didn\'t exist before. From launching four new business lines to reshaping operating models within a $7.5B global firm, I specialize in helping organizations navigate the \"messy middle\" of transformation and growth.I lead with clarity, candor, and optimism, while holding myself and others accountable to meaningful results. My goal is to ensure that when a company hits an inflection point, they have the leadership and governance in place to scale fearlessly.
