About Brad Shinn

I am a highly motivated sales professional and leader with over a decade of experience and a consistent track record of performance in both management and individual contributor roles. During my 12-year tenure at Yelp I grew from IC sales to my most recent position as a Regional Director guiding a distributed team across four states with a multimillion-dollar book of business. My teams ranged from roughly 10 to 30 members at different times, with responsibility for serving thousands of Yelp client accounts.I consider myself an optimist who values my relationships with others and discovering how others, as well as myself can benefit from those relationships. I love the thrill of a new idea, and using my unique perspective to see patterns where others see complexity, especially in fast paced environments. I have benefitted greatly from the opportunity to learn from a number of highly respected professionals and instructors, and look forward to one day having others say that I was able to impact their lives in a positive way.Strengths:Strategic: I have a special perspective on the world at large that enables me to sort through the clutter and find the best route, my chosen path.Ideation: I am fascinated by ideas, and am delighted when I discover an elegantly simple concept to explain why things are they way they are. Some may label it as creative, original, or conceptual.Positivity: I am generous with praise, quick to smile, and always on the lookout for the positive in the situation. My enthusiasm is contagious, and I cannot escape my conviction that it is good to be alive, that work can be fun, and that no matter the setbacks, one must never lose their sense of humor.Woo: This stands for \"winning others over\". I enjoy the challenge of meeting new people, and am rarely intimidated by strangers. In my world there are no strangers, only friends I haven’t met yet.Specialties: Marketing Strategy, Customer Relationship Management, Project Management, Market Research, Strategic PlanningIn addition to my experience, I earned my MBA from Arizona State and completed my undergrad at UNC Chapel Hill.
