About Holly

From the early days of Google to the latest in AI, I have spent my career exploring emerging technologies, recognizing risks & opportunities, and developing strategic expertise in real time. 


Engaging speaker

Every audience is different, and it’s important to customize the message for each group. Tailoring that information requires a high level of expertise and an understanding of the what each audience needs to hear.

I have spoken to dozens of groups since starting Holly Shipley Consulting. Whether that’s a multinational corporation, a local nonprofit, or my mom’s Wednesday morning coffee group, I am able to distill broad, complicated topics down to relevant, actionable insights and make sure that the audience leaves with a practical understanding of how to benefit now and the skills needed to utilize the technology as it evolves over time.


Strategic leader

Businesses and organizations of all sizes across a wide range of sectors have benefited from my unique perspective and depth of expertise in the understanding, integration, and effective response to the impact of emerging technologies, including generative AI. My diverse background & specific experience allows me to create custom solutions that balance efficiency and innovation.


Background in acquisition, engagement, and retention

Working at the intersection of strategic planning and emerging technologies, I honed my expertise in acquisition, engagement, & retention during my tenures at Google and Texas Instruments.

My career spans agency, vendor, and client roles across sales, IT, communications, and marketing, reflecting my intuitive understanding of cross-functional partnerships and my record of holistic strategy building.


Expert in use of generative AI

As an expert in the strategic utilization of generative AI, I provide guidance on the technology's possibilities and risks. I have served as an advisor to top executives & leaders on generative AI usage guidelines, implementation considerations, risk identification and opportunity exploration.

I introduced generative AI the senior executive team at Texas Instruments, provided recurring updates, and lead the strategic and tactical response efforts across teams globally for the last 18 months I was there. I partnered directly with Google, Microsoft, OpenAI & others to develop my expertise & understanding as the technology itself was being developed.

I created a scalable, customizable framework to evaluate the risk & opportunity of generative AI with the goal of providing a comprehensive response that accounts for shared objectives, protects against tech debt, and reduces redundancies long term & at scale. 


Providing value & insight for the current shift in technology

I’ve developed my expertise in real time, adapting to technology as it changes, expanding my skill set to include new understanding, and recognizing opportunities to benefit from new advancements.

I understand the scope of potential and how the work at hand needs to change to sustain and scale against the new challenges and opportunities to meet that potential.

My background in leading efforts designed to strategically integrate emerging technologies for multibillion dollar, multinational corporations over the last 20 years provides me with uniquely valuable insight for the current shift in technology and how existing strategies must change in response.
