Sharon Connelly
Operations Officer and Board Member of R.L Connelly & Co., Inc.
Sharon initially joined the company in 1973 (then R.L. Connelly & Sons, Inc.) on a part time basis learning from Bob's mother (Margaret Connelly) the back office of the business.

In 1986, she was offered a full time opportunity by one of Bob's clients to join an executive search firm specializing in venture funded start-up companies in the healthcare field as a Research Associate and later became Head of Research.

From 1992 to 2000, Sharon, as Executive Vice President and a partner started an executive search firm focused on healthcare services. Her experience included hiring all staff, responding to investors, board members, and executives responsible for delegating searches. She was also involved in interviewing executive candidates and presented potential matches to her client companies.

Meanwhile, R.L. Connelly & Co. was experiencing tremendous growth and looking for an operations person. Sharon had the experience of consulting with many companies going through similar growth pains. The timing was right to get back into the company and she was excited about the opportunity of working within the family business.

"Executive search and consulting were very rewarding," says Sharon, "but I wanted to be involved in the day-to-day operations and implementation of policies and procedures in an operating company. The experience has been beyond what I could have imagined."

Today, Sharon is the person behind the scenes who keeps everything running smoothly at R.L. Connelly & Co.
