Monique Shields Founder & CEO

Monique Shields is the founder and force behind Executive Allure, a boutique consultancy that helps high-level leaders bring their vision to life through strategic gatherings, curated events, and transformative leadership experiences.
With over 30 years of experience in brand engagement, partnerships, and business development, Monique has supported executives and entrepreneurs at organizations like Verizon, Starbucks, Nordstrom, CenturyLink, and the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation. But her passion goes deeper than logistics—she created Executive Allure after recognizing that visionary leaders don’t just need help getting things done. They need a trusted partner who sees the big picture, refines the strategy, and brings the right people to the table.
Monique works with executives, founders, and philanthropic leaders who are building something meaningful—and want their events and gatherings to reflect that same level of intention. Whether it’s a strategic board meeting, private retreat, or high-touch brand experience, she ensures every detail aligns with the bigger purpose.

She’s also a proud advocate for the American Heart Association, raising awareness around maternal health and cardiovascular risks in women and communities of color. And through her mentorship of executive assistants and administrative professionals, she’s helping the next generation rise to their fullest potential as strategic leaders.

At her core, Monique believes that the most powerful leadership moments happen in spaces built for connection, clarity, and impact—and she’s here to make those moments happen.
