Sharpe started his business career in 1991 when he established the West Group, a confectionary and food distribution company which had operations in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique and South Africa. With operations in South Africa, he also established InterAfrica Franchise Bottlers in South Africa. In 2023, Sharpe's company West Property Company listed on the Victoria Falls Stock Exchange as WestProp Holdings becoming the first property development company to list on the new exchange. My focus is to drive poverty alleviation, job creation and responsible transformational development through FDI (foreign direct investment) - hence his involvement in the World Economic Forum - where I represent the Young Presidents Organisation (YPO) as the “Doing Business in Africa” and i am also the “Family Philanthropy Network” Chair. I have an been an active member of the Harare YPO Chapter since February 2005, serving as the Chapter Forum Chair, Education Chair and youngest Chapter Chairman in 2008. I have also given presentations and speeches on these experiences and my resultant driving motivation is being enthralled throughout the world.
