Australian AI infrastructure company Sharon AI has appointed Sarah Murray as its inaugural Head of Communications and Corporate Affairs, as the company strengthens its executive team to support its next phase of growth in the rapidly expanding artificial intelligence sector.
The newly created role will see Murray lead Sharon AI's corporate communications, public affairs, executive visibility and stakeholder engagement strategy as demand for sovereign AI infrastructure continues to grow across Australia.
Murray joins Sharon AI after more than seven years at Thrive PR + Communications, where she most recently served as Group Account Director and led the agency's Technology & Innovation practice. She brings over 15 years of communications experience spanning Australia and the UK, having advised technology companies, startups and enterprise brands on corporate reputation, media relations and strategic communications.
Murray said: "Sharon AI is one of Australia's most transformative startups, building the future of AI infrastructure. As AI transforms industries, economies and the way we work, the infrastructure underpinning it matters more than ever.
"I'm energised at the opportunity to play a lead role in Sharon AI's future growth, adopting a modern approach to communications built for the AI era."
Sharon AI is developing AI-focused cloud infrastructure designed to support enterprises, governments and AI developers with high-performance computing capacity, positioning itself within Australia's growing sovereign AI ecosystem. The appointment comes as organisations increasingly invest in local AI infrastructure to meet rising demand for generative AI applications, data sovereignty and advanced computing capabilities.
Murray's appointment reflects Sharon AI's focus on strengthening its corporate profile as competition intensifies among AI infrastructure providers both in Australia and globally.
