Shivonne Byrne, Principal

 I leverage my deep experience in business and marketing to deliver effective market-based strategies, clear positioning platforms, and high-impact stakeholder engagement programs. 

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

Earlier, I headed up marketing at Visio and The Learning Company, launching the company-product brands that have achieved long-term market leadership success. 

During my consulting career I’ve been a partner at several management and marketing strategy firms, including Regis McKenna Inc. As a consultant, 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 leadership brands. 

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.
