ABOUT SHANNON WASIOLEK

I am an engagement accelerator known for executive presence and strong business acumen. I shine in customer-centric roles where I drive strategy and execution while directing multidisciplinary teams. Throughout m career, I’ve been hand selected to lead multi-million dollar initiatives. I’ve delivered record-setting revenue and customer growth for multiple business units and have helped bring to life many industry-leading advances.In my current role as SVP Global Head of Field Readiness, I lead a capability team that serves the organization’s transition needs by preparing the workforce for the future. This world-class enablement function builds the employee learning solutions that enable Salesforces sales teams to generate $41B in annual revenue. My leadership philosophy: Leadership trust must be earned and learned. Leaders need to show up and continually reestablish trust across the organization – with their teams, peers, and business partners. This requires self-awareness, self-regulation, and consistent modeling of core values. As a B2B sales expert who specializes in online advertising, I cut my teeth in CPG and digital media. I understand the obstacles that can hinder sales teams’ success and use these insights to develop results-driven employee training programs. My contributions extend far beyond L&D, however. Above it all, I am a strategic changemaker who drives efficiency, productivity, revenue, and customer growth.My group delivers exceptional business results because we bring out the best in each other. I clarify the connection between organizational strategy and team deliverables, as well as the parameters we must work within. We earn customers’ trust by demonstrating competence in our solutions, a deep understanding of their business and the macro environment, and most importantly, Google’s commitment to online privacy and safety.By creating a psychologically safe workplace, I’ve built an inclusive culture based on mutual respect that provides freedom to innovate. I love to see people stretch their wings and frequently help other Googlers grow personally and professionally in both formal and informal mentorship capacities.On the personal side I am driven to excel, as well. I compete in 3 different tennis leagues and have risen up to a 4.0 rating in only 4 years as a reliable partner with a quiet confidence who stays steady in high pressure situations.
