Billy Shaw is a Founder & CEO at 7th Avenue at 7th Avenue. He is proficient in Chinese. Colleagues describe him as "Billy is a visionary leader. Having worked very closely with him on co-founding the NYU College of Arts and Science Entrepreneurship Association, I knew very well going into the Entrepreneurs Festival that Billy would be a strong leader. My favorite thing about his leadership style is that he is simultaneously very interested in what his deputies are doing and keeps people in line with the greater mission but allows a great degree of discretion and trust. He himself is extremely capable of executing on a grand vision and is one of the hardest-working people I know.", "Among other things, Billy's greatest strength lies in his ability to execute and carry his ideas to fruition. Oftentimes, many people will daydream about their ideas, but very few actually follow-through into making them happen. Billy is one of the few. On a more interpersonal level, Billy is a friendly and energetic teammate and was a key driver of the warm, inspirational and inclusive atmosphere that was the NYUEF core team. I can only offer my utmost praise and endorsement of Billy’s leadership abilities, work ethic, attitude and personality. If you’re lucky enough to have the chance to hang out or work together with him, don’t hesitate. He's awesome!", and "Billy is a solid programmer that can solve problems fast. I took 8 programming classes with Billy and he was my partner in most of the coding exercises. His debugging skills are great. He is also a guy who has a aptitude of management. He always knew how to approach the challenges and divide the work between us."
