About Me

Shannon Bird, MBA

I’m Shannon Bird—a strategy-first leader who bridges business vision and IT execution. For over 15 years, I’ve worked across Fortune 500s to translate complex goals into actionable roadmaps, scalable frameworks, and measurable results. I specialize in aligning enterprise priorities with enabling capabilities—driving over $250M in investment impact across healthcare, pharma, retail, and beyond.
