Strategy chameleon - I work with my team to help our clients' brands grow. The answer to most questions is usually 'it depends' and non-binary. I'm interested in the power of technology to make our lives better but also respectful of the discipline and theory of marketing. Harnessing the two together is where magic is made.
The voice of the client should always be the loudest voice in the room. My name is Shaun Simon and I strongly believe this should guide every business decision. My ability to rise to the demands of challenging situations while going beyond expectations is proof of this and is one of my strongest skills.
My experience, knowledge, drive, and technical expertise have opened many doors and allowed me to grow as a leader. This is what lead me to move from Southern California to Austin Texas in 2014. Since then, my consistent and meticulous execution has propelled me into my current role.
My technical background has allowed me to overcome many obstacles as the senior leader of Cvent's onsite professional services group. I have successfully and simultaneously managed an organization of 80+ leaders, project managers, and event managers. I have a proven history of defining and implementing my management methodologies and best practices, which have led to an increase in efficiency and reduction in risk.
I pride myself on managing the implementation and integration of new, cutting-edge technology while delivering results.

Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Wealthsimple
Transformational change agent | DEI expert and consultant | Board member
My experience navigating alternative paths has served as the foundation for my work in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEI/DBI). The reality is there is no one-size-fits-all for bringing DEI or DBI into your organization in a meaningful and intentional way. I’ve spent my career working with leading brands to find the right ways to bring DEI/DBI into their organization so it can stick, scale and succeed.
People who have worked with me would say:
I’m a developer - I recognize and cultivate potential in others and have the ability to spot areas that need improvement, and derive satisfaction from these improvements.
I’m a connector - I see how things connect and refuse to believe that things are just the result of coincidence.
I’m a team player - I find deep satisfaction in working hard with others to work toward a collective goal.
I’m a strong communicator - I understand the balance between active listening and strong engagement. I’m a strong conversationalist who can easily find the right words for the right moments.
If you’re tired of approaching DEI/DBI in the standard manner, let’s connect and talk about how we can bring real systemic change to your organization in a way that works for YOUR business.
