“Shar is known as a reformed lawyer that is definitely Type A. She is diligent, aggressive when needed, but very thoughtful in generating results. She is known for her energy, desire for fair play and for advancing diversity, emerging managers and a better balance of gender representation in the investment workplace. Although she works with all the asset classes, her current expertise lies more with the alternative asset classes. I consider Sharmila as an excellent resource in developing strategic direction, strategy, goals, and objectives for the investment program and its future.”
—Tom Tull, CIO, Investments Division, Employees Retirement System of Texas
