About Shiqueen Brown
Hi, I’m Shiqueen — an entrepreneur and strategic partnerships leader working at the intersection of technology, AI, and creative industries.I build and scale cross-sector partnerships that expand access to emerging technologies and enable organizations to translate innovation into real-world outcomes. My experience spans Fortune 500 companies, public sector agencies, nonprofits, and creative ecosystems, with an emphasis on platform strategy, partnership development, and systems-level execution.Currently, I serve as the CSR Lead for the Northeastern U.S. at IBM, where I lead regional partnerships for IBM SkillsBuild, a global learning platform on a mission to reach 30 million learners by 2030. I work across Marketing, Communications, and Corporate Social Responsibility to ensure partners and learners have access to in-demand skills in AI, cybersecurity, and next-generation technologies, driving adoption and scale across the region to meet targets of engaged learners. In parallel, I lead New York volunteer campaigns for social good and collaborate with IBM’s Sports & Entertainment team to integrate technology-enabled initiatives into enterprise sports partnerships—bridging innovation with sports, media, and live experiences.Previously, as a Strategic Partnerships Manager at Microsoft, I sourced and managed partnerships with social enterprises, governments, and mission-driven organizations, advancing responsible AI usage and cross-sector collaboration aligned to core business objectives.Founder-minded and systems-oriented, I am interested in ventures operating at the convergence of AI, fashion, film, and emerging platforms. I bring a creative lens to strategy—shaping partnerships, narratives, and products that resonate across technical and non-technical audiences.Featured by Boss Women Media (Corporate Queens), Black In Corporate x Kering, and nominee, Forbes 30 Under 30 – Social Impact.Board Member, Young Investors Group | Young Patron, Alvin Ailey Dance Foundation
