Sharon Coburn FCIPD CMgr MCMI

Sharon has over 25 years' generalist Human Resources experience gained within the financial services sector.

Sharon is a Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and a Chartered Manager of the Chartered Management Institute.

On joining Praxis in 2003, Sharon had responsibility for setting up the Human Resources function of what was then the Group's sole office in Guernsey. She progressed within HR Operations to Group Head of HR, a role which she stepped down from at the end of January 2023. Since then, Sharon has moved into the newly created role of Head of HR Transformation, working closely with key stakeholders.

Outside of work, Sharon likes to keep active and is a frequent gym user and a regular runner. She completed her first (and probably only) marathon in London in April 2018, raising funds for the Guernsey Cheshire Homes. Sharon has also raised money for Help a Guernsey Child by climbing Mount Kilimanjaro along the Marangu Route and successfully reached Uhuru Peak five days later. Not afraid of a challenge, Sharon feels there is room in her for another one yet to be decided.
