Shivonne Byrne, Principal

As a strategy consultant I leverage my deep experience in business and marketing to provide expert counsel to clients, offering timely market-based insights and tailored business and marketing programs. 

I spent a decade-plus at Microsoft where I drove transformative executive engagement, led global executive programs and C-level events, managed CxO market influencer-analyst relations, built high-value relationships and partnerships, and developed impactful branding and thought leadership content.

I’ve headed up marketing at Visio and The Learning Company, launching corporate and product brands that have achieved long-term success. 

During my consulting career I’ve been a partner at several business and marketing firms advising clients such as Apple, KPMG, August Capital and their portfolio companies, The Learning Company, Stanford University, and Positively For Kids.

My commitment to serving communities includes volunteering as a board director for non-profit organizations including StolenYouth, WTIA (then the Washington Software Association), Stanford Alumni Association, Stanford Club of Western Washington, NW Leukemia and Lymphoma Association, and Seattle Children's Home. 

I hold a B.A. in English from Stanford University.
