Shawnee Star
As CEO of TechWise, Shawnee is a respected mentor, visionary and leader who is responsible for TechWise worldwide. Shawnee co-founded TechWise in 1994 and has grown it to multiple locations in North America and in the Middle East. Her International experience has broadened her portfolio as she is well positioned for further global expansion.

Shawnee’s leadership through the ups and downs of the economy has been paramount in the continued success of TechWise over the past 23 years. Shawnee found ways to leverage the firm’s excellent past performance in technology, training, and consulting into new growth areas. She has been able to provide innovation to many military training events by incorporating efficient ways to use technology throughout training exercises as well as helping customers evaluate their return on investment for the training. She has positioned her company as the best professional service company to have on the team to increase the performance level of not only the individuals but of the collective group. She leads teams that integrate training, technology, and process… to ultimately create capability within organizations.

The technology industry, Department of Defense Contracting, and the Middle East are heavily dominated by men, yet Shawnee has created a company that is not only tremendously successful in both worlds but, even more importantly, serves as an example to other small business owners.

Shawnee is or has been a member of the prestigious Colorado Thirty Group, Vistage, Young Presidents Organization, American Chamber of Commerce in Abu Dhabi, Colorado Springs Military Affairs Council, Colorado Springs Regional Business Alliance, and Air Force Association, and Association of the United States Army. She has served as a Board member on National Defense Industry Association, Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce, Armed Services YMCA, and Women in Defense. She was instrumental in helping Colorado Springs stand up the Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) for Colorado.
