The Wellth 30: First Woman to Hold the Job

This profile is part of the Wellth 30, a curated recognition of the leaders building enduring brands, communities, and culture.    

Grace Dolan, President, Sharp Home Electronics Company of America

Grace Dolan became president of Sharp Home Electronics Company of America on April 1, 2026 — the first woman to hold the role. She’d joined Sharp only eight months earlier, then stepped into a job that spans consumer electronics, appliances, sales, product strategy, manufacturing, service and the P&L.

The challenge was not just about taking over. It was aligning a complicated business around what comes next.

In her first months, Dolan has focused on repositioning the organization, restructuring the team and tightening the connection between sales, marketing, product, manufacturing and service. She has also made key leadership hires and deepened relationships with major retailers by listening to their needs and reinforcing Sharp’s commitment to long-term partnership.

That work has helped move new products into the market, including the Celerity High-Speed Oven and Deco Series Microwave Drawer Oven, while shaping a broader pipeline around consumer needs and new growth opportunities.
