Experienced Guidance for Important Next Steps

Sharon Hicklin offers virtual coaching and consultations.

The music and entertainment industry is full of opportunity—but it can also be complex, fast-moving, and difficult to navigate without the right perspective. Timing, positioning, and execution matter. Clarity is an advantage.

I work with clients who are building, refining, transitioning, or reinventing. My role is to bring seasoned insight, strategic clarity, and practical support to the decisions that shape your career, your business, and your long-term direction.

Whether you need a trusted sounding board, stronger structure, or experienced guidance before making a critical move, I help you move forward with greater alignment and confidence.

A Career Built Inside the Industry

I have worked across some of the most respected organizations in the music business, including Epic, MCA, Silas Records, and Universal Music Group.

My career began in Artist & Repertoire, where I oversaw production and recording budgets for multi-platinum artists and globally recognized brands. Early on, I became known for delivering complex projects on time and on budget while building strong, trusted relationships across both creative and executive teams.

Later, as Head of Operations for Silas Records and then as a senior executive within Universal Music Group’s Central Operations, I led large-scale operational and financial initiatives—bringing structure, efficiency, and clarity to highly complex environments.

What I Do

Today, I work with emerging and established professionals across the music and entertainment industries.

My role is to provide clear, experienced guidance that helps clients navigate important decisions, strengthen their foundation, and move forward with greater confidence.

I support clients who are:

Navigating growth, transition, or reinvention 

Seeking clarity around operational, strategic, or financial decisions 

Strengthening structure, systems, and long-term positioning 

Looking for a trusted, experienced perspective before making critical moves 

Whether the need is immediate decision support or broader strategic direction, my work is designed to bring clarity to complexity and momentum to what comes next.

A Rare Blend of Creative Fluency and Operational Depth

My experience spans both the creative and executive sides of the business. I understand the demands of artistry, the realities of operations, and the importance of making sound decisions in environments where complexity is constant.

While at Universal Music Group, I led a team responsible for implementing operational improvements and automated solutions across multiple divisions—resulting in more than $10 million in annual savings while strengthening collaboration and performance across the organization.

I also co-founded one of the early online music platforms created to empower artists through branding, marketing, distribution, and audience engagement. That experience continues to shape my perspective on innovation, adaptability, and the evolving needs of artists and industry professionals.

I bring that same level of strategic thinking, discretion, and execution to the individuals and businesses I work with today.

Grounded in Integrity

I believe meaningful success is built with clarity, respect, and alignment—where both the creative vision and the business structure are fully supported.

My work is grounded in integrity, discretion, and a deep respect for the dignity of human life. I believe music is a universal language with the power to connect, elevate, and endure.
