About Shannon Deyoung

For more than 20 years, my career has centered around bringing the right people together—whether that’s connecting organizations with exceptional talent or creating memorable experiences that bring people together in meaningful ways. Professionally, I’ve built my career as a Talent Acquisition leader, partnering with hiring managers and executives to recruit mid- to senior-level talent across IT, engineering, and manufacturing organizations. I’m known for building strong relationships, solving complex workforce challenges, and creating recruiting strategies that align with business goals while delivering an exceptional candidate experience. At the same time, I’m also the Founder of Cheers & Co, a boutique tour experience in Northern Michigan designed to help people slow down, celebrate life’s moments, and explore the beauty of the Traverse City region. What started as a passion project reflects the same strengths that have guided my career—connection, creativity, and a genuine love for bringing people together. Whether I’m developing talent strategies or curating unforgettable experiences, I’m energized by creating environments where people feel welcomed, valued, and inspired.
