Biography

Sharon Cooney Shuttleworth grew up in a media family, so it's only natural that her talents landed her in the communications profession. As a child actress and model, she appeared in 70 television commercials. She built on her childhood experience and earned a position as Promotional Director of the Men's Division of the Ford Modeling Agency from 1985 to 1990. While there, she used her laser sharp eye and marketing savvy to screen talent for brands such as J.Crew, Nautica and Ralph Lauren. Once the agency finalized their selections, she marketed the talent, raised their profiles nationally and kept the agency top of mind with national clients.

Sharon was named Marketing and Public Relations Director for the exclusive Lake Isle Caterers in Westchester County, NY, in 1990. While tempting brides and high-end clients with sophisticated menus, finger foods and reception locations, she grew the business 75 percent during her tenure.

In 2000, Sharon was named Senior Vice President/Director of Corporate Communications for EUE/Screen Gems. She has led creative marketing efforts behind the launch of Stage 10 in Wilmington, NC, the opening of the Atlanta studio complex and subsequent milestones and bookings for both studios.

Sharon's leadership has resulted in EUE/Screen Gems' frequent inclusion in industry blogs such as "Deadline Hollywood Daily," the LA Times "Company Town Blog" and "The Wrap" as well as traditional news outlets such as "The Hollywood Reporter" and "Variety."

Sharon graduated from Holy Cross College in Worcester, MA, with a B.A. in English in 1981 and completed a Master's degree at New York's Columbia University in 1984. She lives in Nashville with her husband and has two children.
