Meet Sharee

Sharee Calverley Lawler is the founder of Black Lab Advisory.  Sharee spent the first part of her career with nonprofits and then spent eight years with a Fortune 100 company.  Much of her time has focused on building strong strategies along with the underlying architecture required to ensure success.  As a result, she has helped companies avoid billions in cost as well as gain millions for the bottom line.

Ultimately, Sharee’s roots lay in entrepreneurship.  Having grown up with a multi-generational, family-owned business on her mom’s side of the family and watching her father build two businesses during his career, Sharee decided to stop fighting her genes.  So she decided not only to start her own business, but to focus on those small- and mid-sized businesses she has seen grow and prosper first hand her entire life.

Sharee has been a resident of the District of Columbia since 1997 and thinks it is a city without peer.  She and her husband, Tom, have been married for 9 years.  They met at Baylor University, where Sharee was a double major in History and Environmental Science.  She also holds an MBA with concentrations in Leadership and Finance from the Stern School of Business at New York University.  Their Labrador, Cesky, is 8 and serves as Dog Mayor of their block on Capitol Hill.  Sharee also writes about local business issues for Capitol Hill’s neighborhood blog, The Hill is Home, and serves as treasurer on the boards of the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop and Downtown Common.
