Sharon Gilburd
Co-ChairI’m a digital strategist, and have worked for nearly two decades with established and start-up businesses to transform their ways of working, through digital design and technology. My clients have included Visa, Orange and Barclaycard.
I’m originally from Glasgow, and grew up in Shetland, before attending university in Edinburgh where I was recruited to work for the World Trade Organisation in Geneva. It was there that I developed a love of both statistics and languages.
More recently, I studied an MA in Applied Imagination in the Creative Industries at Central St Martin’s and was appointed Chair of the Centre for Digital Public Services in Wales (a Welsh Gov public body). Welsh is my latest language learning project; being immersed in a supportive, predominantly Welsh-speaking community really helps.
I’m really looking forward to working as Co-Chair with Yvonne. It’s great that we’ve got the opportunity to bring both of our experiences to the role. Plus the talent and commitment on the existing Board and across the NTW team is incredible. Having spent 6 months or so as a Trustee, I’m now looking forward to playing my role in helping them to deliver on their goals for NTW and Wales over the next few years.
