Rebecca with Elizabeth Shea

Elizabeth Shea, President and CEO 

For more than twenty years, Elizabeth Shea has seen innovation at many stages. She joined Apple Computer early in her career and shared its passion for changing the world one person at a time. Fast forward twenty years and she's still driven to make a difference for technology pioneers and thought leaders, helping to shape the industry's next icons.

In the decade since founding her own firm, Shea's passion for technology has grown stronger and more intensely focused. She is most proud of the fact that her approach to running an agency is firmly rooted in her experience on the client side. Her motivation and instincts for client service comes from walking in their shoes. She hires with this in mind, and looks for smart, savvy business people rather than just skilled PR practitioners.

Shea spent the first half of her career in Silicon Valley, working for Apple Computer, SuperMac Technologies and Momenta Computer. She relocated to the east coast to work for top-tier technology integrators that sold Oracle, Apple, Silicon Graphics, Compaq and Sun Microsystems solutions.

Women in Technology (WIT) honored Shea with its 2005 Entrepreneurial Leadership Award. She also received the prestigious PR Woman of Year Award in 2001 from Washington Women in Public Relations (WWPR). She enjoys giving back to the local community, serving on the advisory council of George Mason University's Communications Department, among other civic activities. Shea is an in-demand speaker on technology marketing and PR, frequently addressing such groups as: Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), WWPR, Northern Virginia Technology Council (NVTC), Women In Technology (WIT), BusinessWire and the Direct Marketing Association (DMA).

Shea is a graduate of Santa Clara University's Leavey School of Business with a degree in marketing.
