Bio
Pipi Nicholson
I worked with Sharon in 2021 when I was setting up COVID-19 vaccination and testing centres in Auckland, and Sharon was managing logistics for the NRHCC. During this time, I worked closely with her to implement various sites for both testing and vax. Sharon was always extremely efficient, a great communicator, collaborator, and colleague. Sharon is dedicated and hardworking, working tirelessly to meet deadlines and solve problems in a crunch. I have never worked with someone who is constantly so positive and full of energy, which makes her a joy to be around. Her project management skills, tenacity and leadership abilities make it very easy to recommend Sharon for any role. She would add incredible value to any team lucky enough to work with her.

Sharon was born to be a Program Manager. She builds phenomenal relationships with colleagues, is a quick learner, pays meticulous attention to detail, is a fantastic communicator, and drives delivery no matter what the task. She is constantly learning and improving her knowledge in order to apply the latest proven methodologies to her programs - which makes her a fountain of knowledge and best practice. She is not only a remarkable professional, but prioritizes the growth of younger employees, leading by example as a true business leader, and is a wonderful person to have on a team. She is of suitable caliber to be running a multi-national agile PMO. It was a privilege to work with Sharon. She's the type of person who leaves a lasting impression and makes the world a better place.
