ABOUT ME

Welcome, I’m Sharon D’Costa, an award-winning business innovation consultant who thrives on solving complex challenges with bold, practical solutions.

I don’t just talk about innovation. I make it happen.

My career spans brand management, entrepreneurship, and academia, all united by a single goal: helping businesses adapt, grow, and win in markets where standing still isn’t an option.

With an MBA in Business Design and Innovation, I bring the rare mix of creativity and strategy. Whether it’s developing new products, sharpening go-to-market strategies, or running hands-on workshops, my focus is always the same -- practical innovation that drives results.

Professional Experience

I’ve worn multiple hats -- entrepreneur, brand manager, and global university lecturer -- and each role sharpened the way I approach business problems today.

Some of my other notable ventures include:

Founder, WebAWeek -- a creative studio delivering fast, effective brand and digital solutions for startups and SMBs.
BuildThatSkill.com, an edTech microlearning platform and Coursera affiliate, helping learners pick up in-demand skills quickly.
ManikinThreads, the real-world extension of a successful metaverse fashion brand.
EraTrails.com, a heritage travel blog and Amazon affiliate partner.

Earlier in my career, I managed household-name brands at Mattel, including Hot Wheels, Scrabble, and Disney. I developed campaigns that set new sales records and expanded audiences into fresh demographics.

I’ve also taught Business, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation at universities across Australia, the USA, and the UK, blending theory with hands-on application to help students turn ideas into ventures.

Innovation Process and Approach

Innovation isn’t luck or guesswork. It’s a process. My approach combines creativity with hard data and close client collaboration:

Understand your business. Deep dive into your goals, industry, and audience.
Spot opportunities. Research trends and market gaps.
Generate bold ideas. Unconventional, practical, always aligned with your brand.
Build & test concepts. Detailed proposals and visual mockups to bring ideas to life.
Implement & refine. Strategies that are realistic, actionable, and results-driven.

Every solution is tailored. Every outcome is measurable. No buzzwords, no theory. Just practical innovation designed to give your brand an edge.

By involving you throughout the process, I create tailored solutions that not only address your business challenges but also position your brand for long-term success.
