Sharon Martin, CEO​

​

Sharon is a former Arabic Linguist who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom before pivoting to cybersecurity, earning a Master’s Degree in Information Security & Assurance. She went on to work for U.S. Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER), where she became a certified instructor for the National Cryptologic School and an elite graduate of the Offensive Cyber Operations (OCO) cyber operator program.

 

After leaving government service, Sharon transitioned into the private sector, serving as a Product Owner and Product Architect for Huntress. There, she helped design the foundational detection capabilities of their EDR and Microsoft 365 ITDR products — enterprise-grade cybersecurity solutions built specifically to protect small businesses.

 

Now, as the visionary behind Managed Nerds, Sharon brings her deep expertise in security, AI, and automation to help small businesses scale, stay secure, and compete with the big players — without the enterprise price tag.
