Sharp Wilkinson is thrilled to welcome Emily Sharp as the newest member of the team in the role of account executive. With background and experience ranging from the South Bend-Elkhart Regional Partnership to the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame, Emily brings a magnetic personality and a moxie every organization like ours needs.
Her Story in Michiana
Emily graduated from Marian High School in Mishawaka, Indiana in 2017. She then attended Grace College & Seminary in Winona Lake, Indiana—just over an hour southeast of South Bend, Indiana.
At Grace, Emily pursued a full course load, earning her BA in Marketing, a BA in Facility and Event Management, and her Master Degree in Business Administration: completing all in 2021. While she was there, she was also a four-year varsity athlete for Grace’s women’s volleyball team, playing over 100 games and recording over 600 digs for the Lancers.
Emily the Account Executive
As account executive, Emily will be key to growing our client base. With Sharp Wilkinson’s membership in both the South Bend Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Elkhart Chamber of Commerce, Emily is attending chamber events and growing our footprint within the area’s business community.
Of joining the Sharp Wilkinson team, Emily says, “Not only are Jack and Chris incredible bosses, but the team is nothing short of amazing. It is so fun coming into an environment where everyone is so willing to help and so good at what they do.”
When asked what clients and prospects can expect from Emily, Sharp Wilkinson co-founder Jack Wilkinson said, “Since joining the Sharp Wilkinson team, Emily has already shown an exceptional grasp of our data-driven approach to marketing and sales. Her natural flair for connecting with clients and understanding their unique needs has made a significant impact on our team dynamic.”
Away from work, volleyball continues to be a central part of Emily’s life. She continues to play but now coaches the next generation of volleyball players as well.
In closing, Emily says, “I have a passion for building relationships and driving growth, so this is the perfect position for me!”
We’re very excited to welcome Emily to the Sharp Wilkinson team! We can’t wait to see the successes she will undoubtedly bring and the growth we hope to nurture.
