  • Martha Shaughnessy -  Founder, The Key PR

Martha started her career in public relations. She leads programs for the opening of Union Square, the Asian Art Museum and other iconic San Francisco institutions. She got her feet wet in tech there and went to explore tech PR. Because of the team's success launching companies like Mint.com and LivingSocial, the team grew and Martha was selected to run its flagship office in San Francisco. A lumpy acquisition and two kids later, Martha was the big boss lady and felt too far from the impact that had drawn her to communications, so she laid herself off to create the kind of company she thinks the world needs. Martha now owns her own PR firm.

  • Wyatt Moss - Founder, Digital ad agency, Wyatt LLC
