Monique Shields is the visionary behind Executive Allure, a boutique consultancy specializing in high-touch executive engagements, strategic partnerships, and exclusive brand showcases. With over 30 years of experience in strategic partnerships, brand engagement, and business development, Monique has been the go-to strategic partner for top executives, entrepreneurs, and public figures at industry-leading organizations, including Verizon, Starbucks, Nordstrom, CenturyLink, and the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation.
Beyond her work with executives, Monique is a passionate mentor and advocate. She is deeply committed to supporting executive assistants and administrative professionals, equipping them with the tools to operate at the highest level and position themselves as strategic partners in their own careers. She also serves as an advocate for the American Heart Association, raising awareness about high blood pressure, maternal health, and cardiovascular disease in women and minority communities.
Monique’s career has been built on creating opportunities, not just managing them. Early on, she recognized that executives don’t just need support—they need a trusted partner who understands their vision, refines their strategy, and connects them with the right people. That realization led her to create Executive Allure, a consultancy dedicated to helping leaders maximize their influence and seamlessly execute high-level initiatives that drive business growth and visibility.
