Real talk & real insights — sparks that move you.
Manifesto
THE PROMISE
No vision boards. No affirmations. An operator who's made the pivots across MarTech, Retail, and Agencies with 12+ years of real stories and playbooks — and will spark the move you've been circling.
WHO IT'S FOR
Ambitious professionals ready to explore or pivot into Marketing, AI, and beyond — and growing enterprises building marketing operations from the ground up or scaling what's already in motion.
THE FORMAT
Free discovery call to start. Async or one-off engagements later. Your choice. No retainers. Designed for efficiency and productivity — I only take clients I can actually help.
Why spark with Sharon?
Not another life coach (many others do better than me)
— a spark to create your unique story
What I do
For Individuals
-
PR → Marketing Analytics → Decision Science → Retail → MarTech & Growth → AI. Multiple non-obvious pivots. A reverse-engineered playbook from someone who lived it — not a TED talk.
-
Direct, no-sugarcoat feedback on how your materials actually read to a hiring manager at Uber, Anthropic, or any top-tier tech company.
-
The 80/20 on MarTech, growth, attribution, technical program management, and analytics career paths — what takes years of osmosis, compressed into actionable sessions.
-
Business/creative AND technical/data. U.S. market AND Asian market. Help a marketer talk to engineers, or a data person learn to tell a story.
-
Keynoted 1,500+ in Taipei, moderated AI forums at Taiwan Tech Summit with 1000+. Actively shaping the conversation and mentorship.
For Enterprises
-
Led globally localized team at Uber experienced in Growth Marketing, Marketing Technology, and Technical Program Management. Built Growth MarTech Operations team from scratch at Anthropic. Knows what world-class looks like at scale in either BUILD, BUY or Hybrid scenarios.
-
Works cross-functionally across product, engineering, marketing, data science, finance, privacy, security, legal, you name it. Most consultants only understand one side — I map interdependencies and drive alignment as a technical program lead would with a super power of context switching.
-
OKR planning, growth experimentation infrastructure, workflow automation, TPM rigor, production issue resolution, and compliance. I don’t just recommend — I strategize, execute and measure.
-
Talent pipeline and market-entry diagnostics for companies expanding either direction. Rare combination of U.S. tech + Taiwan/APAC + EMEA/LATAM context.
