Bridging Finance and Communication

Hi, I'm Sharon Wood, CEO and founder of Linktank Connect. My journey in finance and communication spans over three decades, equipping me and my team of specialist financial writers with a unique blend of skills to serve our global clientele in the financial services industry.

My Background

  • Former financial journalist and editor at leading business publications
  • Head of Communications at two major South African asset management firms
  • Founder of Richer Life, a financial lifestyle publication
  • Weekly economic op-ed writer for Business Maverick

My extensive experience in financial markets, economics, asset management, and fintech allows me to navigate the most complex financial landscapes with ease.

Beyond Finance:

When not immersed in financial writing, Sharon can be found hiking the Cape Town mountains, capturing landscapes through her camera lens, or curating music playlists on Soundcloud and Spotify.

On my bookshelf

  • “New Ideas” from Dead Economists – Todd Buchholz
  • “Hedgehogging” by Barton Biggs
  • “Fooled by Randomness” by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
  • “When Genius Failed:” The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management – Roger Lowenstein
  • “The Black Swan” by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
  • “The Future of Capitalism” by Paul Collier
  • “How Google Works” by Eric Schmidt & Jonathan Rosenberg
As financial communicators, we inform, empower, engage and educate readers on the most complex investment and economic subjects.
The financial world has a dictionary full of jargon that often makes it impossible for non-experts to understand.
