SharpShell Digital CEO named one of Orlando’s top executives under 40 years old
Orlando, Fla. (April 14, 2026) – Last week, Orlando Business Journal announced its annual 40 Under 40 list of the most influential executives in the region under 40 years old.
And on the cover was Raul Nazario, CEO of SharpShell Digital, a client of the Orlando UCF Business Incubator.
“We simply love it when our client companies and our entrepreneurs receive recognitions like Raul’s inclusion on the 40 under 40 list,” says Kelly Daubach, Incubator Manager, UCF Business Incubation Program. “Raul has had tremendous success already in his career and these types of recognitions should continue as SharpShell continues to grow.”
Nazario spent nearly a decade at ZeroChaos, most recently as the company’s director of corporate initiatives. He worked for a few years at ADP, before starting SharpShell in 2021. Today, SharpShell Digital provides digital marketing and automation services to brands across the country.
He also serves as the Chief Marketing Officer of the Stylus League, which transforms art into 3D pieces, and volunteers to serve on the Downtown Regional Board of the Boys & Girls Club of Central Florida and the UCF Marketing Advisory Board.
“Being able to contribute not just financially, but strategically, helping guide growth, outreach, and long-term impact has been incredibly meaningful,” Nazario told Orlando Business Journal in the article. “Growing a business is important, but helping shape opportunities for young people and future leaders creates ripple effects far beyond one company.”
The article touched on several personal and professional subjects. One of the key quotes for executives was on the fast pace of change in the marketing industry.
“There’s constant pressure to adopt every new tool or trend, but not every innovation creates meaningful value,” Nazario says. “The real challenge is discernment: knowing what to implement, when to implement it, and how to integrate it in a way that strengthens operations rather than complicates them.”
