Sharesz T. Wilkinson, Founder and CEO of Resilient Power OS and a global authority in leadership resilience for high-stakes environments, has been nominated for the Visionary Leader Award at the Influencer Magazine Awards 2026. The nomination recognises her ability to work with executive teams at the point where leadership, geopolitics, supply chains, cyber-physical risk and AI governance collide – treating them as one intertwined system rather than a series of disconnected fires. Her role is to de-risk decisions at the top: challenging assumptions, mapping failure paths, and building resilience into the architecture of the business so it can take hits, stay humane, and keep moving when reality breaks the plan.
A multi-award-winning resilience expert, member of the Harvard Business Review Advisory Council and WBAF Senator for the USA, Sharesz is a peer-level partner to Fortune-scale executives and venture-backed founders. Her work sits at the core of modern tech influence: reshaping how leaders integrate AI, cyber-physical systems and global risk into their operating models, and turning complex technology and systemic risk into clear trade-offs, practical safeguards and decisive actions leaders can stand behind.
Her track record bears this out. To date, Sharesz has received 29+ international leadership awards and nominations as a change agent, and she is a best-selling co-author and an international keynote speaker in her own right. As WBAF Senator for the USA, she also sits inside the venture and angel investment ecosystem as an active investor and mentor – giving her counsel to founders a rare, capital-side vantage point most advisors lack. Her governing belief: resilience is not the ability to bounce back from disruption, but the discipline to build systems that anticipate it, absorb it, and adapt while keeping their humanity intact.
What distinguishes her is the bridge she builds between technical complexity and human leadership. Rather than advising on risk management from the outside, she works inside the room with leaders to rethink how decisions get made under real uncertainty – geopolitical shocks, supply-chain fractures, AI governance failures. Her earlier grounding in executive communication gives that work a second edge: she builds the trust and alignment inside a leadership team that any resilience architecture depends on to actually hold under pressure.
Her global recognition spans industries and geographies: Global Power Leader 2025 – Exemplary Entrepreneur of the Year; Brainz CREA Global 500; Asia’s 100 Women Power Leaders 2023; Top 50 Global Inspirational Women to Look Out For in 2023; Visionary Leader Award 2021; Global Woman Economic Forum 2018 Award for Exceptional Women of Excellence; and nominations for the Tällberg and Eliasson Global Leadership Prize (2019) and the Outstanding Leadership Award (2022).
The Visionary Leader Award nomination at IMA 2026 recognises this across that record: foresight, adaptability, and an unwavering commitment to helping leaders and organisations hold their ground in complexity.
Sharesz’s legacy is measured less by the accolades themselves than by what they point to – a growing bench of executives and organisations that are more resilient, more humane, and better prepared for whatever breaks next.
