Among Shellye’s many accomplishments, she:
- Was named the “#2 Most Influential African American in Technology” by Business Insider

Shellye is a powerful speaker with talks on both innovation and leadership.
With her innovation talk, she uses examples from her career (and her positions as a board member with Verizon and Nordstrom’s) to highlight the importance of identifying and getting ahead of trends. She encourages audiences to ask questions like, “Are your policies aligned with customer needs?” and “How are technology and culture reshaping our laws and practices?” Shellye helps audiences rethink business models and outpace the competition through constant growth and innovation.
When discussing leadership, she shares anecdotes from her personal journey from humble beginnings to the top of Silicon Valley, and shares her four-step plan for success. Inspirational, authentic, and whip-smart, Shellye encourages audiences to set audacious goals and, most importantly, execute on them.
