Lunch and Learn: AI for Small Businesses with Molly Sharp

Molly Sharp is an operations and systems strategist who helps small businesses design practical, responsible ways to use technology and AI. Her work centers on improving employee experience, up-skilling teams, and reducing cognitive load for both employers and their people through custom workflows that fit how work actually happens.
She builds custom internal tools, AI-powered workflows, and lightweight automations for small and mid-sized organizations, often helping them avoid expensive, over-built SaaS in favor of solutions designed specifically for their needs. With a background spanning operations, product strategy and design, and organizational systems, Molly is known for translating complex technology into clear, human-first practices that support better decision-making rather than replacing it.
