Friends, colleagues, and clients know her as Moe — a calm, trusted presence leaders call when the moment carries weight.

Monique Shields is the Founder and CEO of Executive Allure, a strategic partner to visionary founders, CEOs, boards, and purpose-driven brands stepping into elevated visibility and meaningful responsibility.

She serves as a trusted extension of leadership when representation matters, conversations require discernment, and the environment must reflect the significance of the work.

With more than 30 years of experience supporting senior executives across telecommunications, retail, fashion, and philanthropy, Monique brings executive fluency, composure, and an intuitive ability to read the room.

Her career includes work alongside leadership teams at Verizon, Starbucks, CenturyLink, Nordstrom, and the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation — environments where trusted presence, discretion, and high-level coordination were essential.

That experience became the foundation for Executive Allure.

Today, Monique partners with leaders stewarding board governance, philanthropic initiatives, curated retreats, and defining leadership gatherings. Her work strengthens the structure behind the room so vision moves forward with clarity and intention.

Her leadership extends beyond client engagements through board service within a regional hospital system and as a 2024 Go Red for Women Mission Speaker with the American Heart Association — a mission that became deeply personal following the loss of her mother in 2024.

Executive Allure reflects the same grounded presence, discernment, and intentional leadership she brought to executive environments. It exists to protect the leader and strengthen what they are building.
