Board-room level input for ecommerce brands between $50M and $500M. The room where the revenue decisions actually get made — pricing, retention architecture, category strategy, AI-native operating model.
Senior marketing leadership at 1–3 days a week. For brands between full-time hires, between eras, or building the marketing organization for the first time.
Monthly cadence. Called on for the decisions that don’t fit in a job description. Board seat where fit exists.
30 years, working outward from the shelf. What retail looks like today is the point — the earlier work is why I read the current moment the way I do.
Freeplay Energy (VP North America) — specialty retail account by account: MEC, REI, LL Bean, Eddie Bauer, Coast Mountain. Shaw On Demand (VP) — the most profitable VOD launch of its kind in Canada. Xbox Canada (Microsoft, Platform Manager) — 70% of Xbox Canada revenue sold through Best Buy, EB Games, Walmart, Costco. And underneath all of it, the training that set the frame: P&G as Assistant Brand Manager, Detergents — where P&G was about selling to banners that retailed, and the first assignment was always a store-check summary.
The surface keeps changing — grocery aisle, big-box, telco channel, Shopify, AI. The mechanics don’t.
Runs through my family. My father, Professor Satya P. Sharma, taught Cultural Anthropology there for 44 years. My mother, Manjari Sharma, was a sculptor whose work sits on the campus. I spent five years there as a student. I now teach there as faculty.
