Lara Shackelford

I bring over two decades of leadership experience in data and AI technologies and extensive experience as a chief marketing officer. My career spans transformative roles at Intel, Oracle, IBM, and Microsoft. It has propelled startups such as DataStax and Looker to successful exits, all through the lens of creating trusted marketing strategies that resonate globally.

Recognized as a LinkedIn Top Voice in AI and Product Marketing and celebrated by DataCaptive and DiversityFirst among the top CMOs, my commitment extends beyond technological innovation to championing diversity, equity, and inclusion within the tech community. I served on influential boards such as the Gartner Technology Marketing Customer Advisory Board, Women@Microsoft Steering Committee, and Chair of Finance and Operations for Women@Intel - Sales & Marketing.
