Hello, I'm Shari, a Strategic Technologist and Fractional CTO with 20+ years in tech and the 2025 WomenTech Network Global Mentor Award Winner.
After two decades building enterprise systems, I realized I'd been invisible despite my expertise. Through deep personal work, I transformed from invisible to unstoppable—and now I help other women do the same.
I specialize in Oracle ERP, Generative AI, consulting, and enterprise project management (PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM certified). My technical expertise includes front-end web development, CI/CD, SDLC, system integration, and strategic technology planning across Fortune 500 companies and government agencies.
Whether you're navigating career transitions, stepping into leadership, negotiating your worth, or pushing toward the C-suite, I understand the unique challenges women face in tech because I've lived them.
Outside of work, you'll find me working out or baking—it keeps me grounded.
Let's make you unstoppable!
