As the executive director Sharon is currently heading up plans for the new multi million pound Museum of Liverpool project, as well as managing the departments of Urban History and Estates.

Sharon joined National Museums Liverpool in 2002, as Director of Public Services, with responsibility for all of our venues and extensive collections. Prior to this she was at Tyne and Wear Museums, where she was involved in major museum capital development projects at both strategic and delivery levels. Successes included leading bid teams for both HLF and New Opportunities Fund schemes.

Sharon has lectured nationally and internationally on museum leadership, sector benchmarking, team development and managing change, and is a graduate of the Getty Foundation’s Museums Management Institute (University of California at Berkeley).
