SHARON WARD DUNCAN
SENIOR CONSULTANT
Accounting, Finance & Banking, Human Resources
Sharon has been with Momentum Consulting since 2016. With over 30 years’ experience in Executive Search & Selection, she manages Senior Leadership and Executive appointments across Finance, Operations, and especially enjoys her work in People, Culture & Safety.
Before joining Momentum, Sharon held several leadership roles, bringing a strong appreciation of leadership competencies, strategy development, and business performance accountability. Tenacious, she thrives on managing challenging search assignments and celebrating successful appointments with clients and candidates.
Sharon began her career in Investment Banking. After graduating from the University of Waikato, she moved to Wellington, then spent five years in London, where a friend in HR suggested she try recruitment. Driven by people and relationships, Sharon found her niche at a specialist Accounting & Finance recruitment consultancy. Her proven results and leadership skills led to senior roles in London and later in Auckland.
Several years ago, Sharon chose to step away from leadership to focus on recruitment assignments—both short-term contracts and permanent searches. Whilst at least half her work is in People & Safety, she enjoys helping clients recruit a variety of Executive and Senior Leadership roles, working with NZX-listed companies, privately owned corporates, government agencies, local government, social services, and For-Purpose organisations.
