Monique Shields is the Founder and CEO of Executive Allure, a boutique consultancy built for leaders with big visions and high expectations. With more than 30 years of behind-the-scenes experience, Monique brings deep expertise in executive support, strategic partnerships, and high-impact event planning. She works alongside executives, founders, and purpose-driven professionals who need a trusted partner to bring clarity, structure, and execution.
Her career began as a trusted executive assistant inside major corporations, where she developed a sharp intuition for how leaders operate, what they need, and how to stay two steps ahead. Over the years, she has shaped impactful experiences for leaders at organizations such as Verizon, Starbucks, Nordstrom, CenturyLink, and the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation. Her approach is always high touch, thoughtful, and purpose driven.
Time and again, Monique saw visionary leaders with powerful ideas but limited internal capacity. She launched Executive Allure to fill that gap—not just to manage logistics but to help leaders move forward with focus, integrity, and intention.
Executive Allure is about more than events. Monique creates strategic, intentional moments such as retreats, investor gatherings, and launches that align leadership and vision. She brings care and precision so clients can lead with presence and peace of mind.
She is a certified minority- and woman-owned business owner who actively collaborates with women-led and BIPOC-owned businesses across industries. She is especially driven by partnership and visibility for Black-owned businesses, foundations, and changemakers. Her work with the American Heart Association, especially after the loss of her mother in 2024 to cardiovascular disease, continues in her advocacy for awareness and access in communities of color.
Monique believes anything is possible with the right support—and Executive Allure is built to be that support.
