Women To Watch Awards 2026 honors Sharon Yvonne Miles

Sharon Yvonne Miles is a force of nature in the world of quality, compliance, and regulatory strategy. As the Founder and Chief Quality Strategist of QARS Solutions Global, she leads a premier Quality & Compliance firm redefining what it means to build investment-ready, high-performing, and fully compliant organizations across every sector, every industry, and every level of business. With over 37 years of experience spanning FDA compliance, global regulatory strategy, and quality systems transformation, her reach extends across MedTech, AI, life sciences, municipal governments, state agencies, software development, insurance, healthcare, renewable energy, nonprofit organizations, and global institutions, including the World Bank IFC (International Finance Corporation), making her one of the most versatile and far-reaching quality strategists in the world today.

Sharon is the original architect of QVEc (Quality Valuation Economics), a groundbreaking proprietary methodology that repositions quality as a measurable, mission-critical driver of enterprise value across all sectors, business structures, and organizational levels, for-profit and nonprofit alike. Her DealReady Portfolio and Contract Quality Management Organization (cQMO) model delivers scalable, fractional quality leadership that meets organizations where they are and elevates them to where they need to be, whether in private equity deal diligence, post-acquisition value creation, government infrastructure, or global development. At the heart of everything she builds is one universal principle: Quality = Mindset in Action.

Sharon is a published author, prolific thought leader, and a voice that refuses to be contained to a single lane. Her book Who's Watching Your Hen House? How to Protect and Scale Your Business for Success uses the farm ecosystem as a powerful analogy for the business ecosystem, illuminating the critical roles and responsibilities every organization must have in place to protect, scale, and deliver sustained success. She has further published multiple white papers on QVEc, quality valuation methodologies, and AI governance, cementing her as a leading voice at the intersection of quality strategy, enterprise value, and intelligent systems. Highly anticipated, her next book, The Pebbles from the Rejected Stone: Black America, the World, and the Faith to Stand When the Builders Reject You, is scheduled for release in July 2026, a powerful and timely work that speaks to resilience, faith, and the enduring strength of those who rise despite rejection. 

Through her QM3 Excellence (Quality Management to the Third Power)  platform, she equips leaders and organizations across every sector with the frameworks and mindset to drive lasting performance. As the Founder of The Thicka Sistas Association, she champions women in leadership with the same boldness she brings to every boardroom and global stage she occupies. Sharon Yvonne Miles is not simply watching the future of quality unfold. She is building it.
