About

Sharpe42 has a decades-old proven track record of leveraging emerging technology like AI to create new revenue streams, penetrate new markets, and improve productivity while managing risk without unduly constraining innovation.

Unlike many firms we offer a pragmatic understanding of the delicate balance between Business realities, Risk (especially cyber risk), and Operational Effectiveness.

We serve Boards of Directors, Senior Leadership, and Government Policy Makers.

Alex Sharpe has successfully run business units, been a CIO, and a CISO. He has worked with organizations in over twenty-five countries on every continent except Antarctica. He has participated in almost thirty M&A transactions (buy side, sell side, Post Merger Integration). A truly unique combination.

Our Principles

We were founded on two key principles:

1. Technology affords an opportunity. The value is only realized by the business model, the people, and the processes. Cyber governance allows you to unlock that value with reasonable risk.

2 “The client is the hero of the story.” Our role is to help you meet your goals to survive and thrive. If we are not the right team. We will tell you.
