Shivonne Byrne, Principal.

Business & Creative Strategy | Executive Counsel | Fractional Leadership

I leverage my deep business experience to deliver effective market-based strategies, creative positioning and brand platforms, insightful executive counsel and fractional leadership, and high-impact engagement programs and events. 

I spent a decade-plus at Microsoft where I led executive customer engagement, worldwide enterprise branding and creative content, global executive programs and C-level events, CxO market influencer-analyst relations, and strategic executive relationships. 

Earlier I headed up marketing at Visio and The Learning Company, creating and launching both company-product brands. During my consulting career I’ve been a partner at several management consulting firms, including the pioneering technology marketing consultancy Regis McKenna Inc.

I have worked with clients such as Apple, KPMG and their national practices, August Capital and their technology portfolio companies, Intel, The Learning Company, Stanford University, and Positively For Kids to establish long-term market leadership positions. 

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.
