About Sharon Wang

I am a results-driven professional with 15+ years of experience at payments, Fintech and cybersecurity companies. Throughout my career as a cross-functional team leader and SME in strategy, business operations, product management, partnerships, card issuing and P&L management, I have been a trusted business partner with proven cross-functional leadership, management and communication skills. I am passionate about solving business problems with creative solutions and leading teams to execute. My ability to proactively identify business opportunities through data-driven approaches, engage with clients and create solutions has enabled me to make significant improvements for global corporations and Fintech start-ups, including Visa, Bank of America, CITCON, Co-Op Financial Services, and SecurityScorecard.Over the years, I’ve worn many hats and developed a unique ability to manage multi-disciplinary projects and overcome challenges. But actual experience has taught me that my professional value boils down to the following:● I empower business leaders by serving as a trusted partner and leveraging my strategic vision, analytical mindset, business acumen, and interpersonal skills.● Silos and fiefdoms = stagnation. I use collaboration, training, and transparency to become a better leader and person.● Ideas are common. Execution is rare. My ability to apply both is what sets me apart.
