Sharon AI Appoints Anuj Goel as Chief Financial Officer
NEW YORK, July 22nd, 2026 – SharonAI Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: SHAZ) and its subsidiaries (“Sharon AI” or “the Company”), a leading Australian Neocloud, today announced the appointment of Mr. Anuj Goel as incoming Chief Financial Officer, strengthening the company’s executive leadership team as it accelerates the expansion of its AI infrastructure platform.
Anuj joins Sharon AI after a distinguished 20-year career at Macquarie, most recently serving as Head of Technology, APAC at Macquarie Capital, where he advised boards, founders and investors on many of Australia’s most significant technology, telecommunications, media and digital infrastructure transactions.
His appointment comes at a pivotal stage in Sharon AI’s growth as the company continues to scale its AI cloud platform and expand its position as a provider of sovereign AI infrastructure.
Sharon AI also announced that Mr. Tim Broadfoot will step down as the incumbent Chief Financial Officer following a successful tenure in which he helped establish the company’s financial foundations. The Board thanks Tim for his significant contribution and wishes him every success in the future. Tim will work closely with Mr. Goel over the next few months to ensure a seamless transition of responsibilities.
As Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Goel will lead Sharon AI’s financial strategy, capital management, corporate development and financial operations, supporting the company’s next phase of growth. Mr. Goel’s first day in the role will be Monday, 24th of August.
Prior to leading Macquarie Capital’s technology practice in the region, Mr. Goel spent six years in Macquarie’s global Venture Capital team evaluating investment opportunities in Europe, North America and the Asia Pacific region. During this time, he developed experience across the investment lifecycle, including deal origination, financial analysis and valuation, business strategy and portfolio management, and supported the growth of companies including PEXA, Temple & Webster, oOh!media and RP Data (now Cotality) from an early stage.
James Manning, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Sharon AI, said:
“Anuj brings an exceptional combination of financial leadership, capital markets expertise and deep knowledge of the technology and digital infrastructure sectors. As Sharon AI continues to scale, his experience advising many of the region’s leading technology businesses and investors will be invaluable as we execute our long-term growth strategy.”
“His appointment further strengthens our executive team and reflects the calibre of leadership we are assembling to build one of the world’s leading AI infrastructure companies. We thank our outgoing CFO, Tim Broadfoot, for his significant contribution and wish him well for the future. Tim will continue to work within Sharon AI for some months in a handover with Anuj.”
Anuj Goel, Chief Financial Officer of Sharon AI, said:
“Artificial intelligence is creating one of the most significant opportunities of our generation, and Sharon AI is uniquely positioned to help meet the growing demand for sovereign AI compute. I’m excited to join the company at such an important stage of its journey and look forward to working with the team to build a disciplined financial platform that supports long-term growth while delivering value for customers, partners and shareholders.”
The appointment of Anuj Goel further strengthens Sharon AI’s leadership team as the company continues to expand its AI cloud platform and invest in the infrastructure required to support the next generation of AI innovation.
