About Shannon Denton

I started my career in Technology, as a Software Engineer and Architect, and created several software products from scratch. I shifted to Consulting, where I led big client opportunities, launched new practice areas, and ran high-growth business units. This led me to a CEO position in Digital at a company called Xcelerate, where I discovered the incredible energy and opportunity gained through collaboration of diverse people including creatives, strategists, technologists and marketers. I sold Xcelerate to Razorfish in 2002, which is where I spent a big part of my career as a key member of the Razorfish executive team, including SVP, President and CEO positions for 15 years.Most recently, I was the Global CEO of Razorfish, very fortunate to lead one of the most acclaimed Digital Companies in the world.  Currently I am active in the Venture Capital and Tech Startup world, actively investing in and advising several startup companies in my home town, Atlanta. My latest venture, Wripple, is poised to change the way brands secure talent for Marketing and Customer Experience projects. Wripple's Agency Services Platform allows marketing teams to browse and hire highly vetted talent, all on-demand. This includes finding individual freelancers and ready-made project teams. It’s a more modern and cost-effective solution to manage capacity and get outside digital expertise. The platform provides access to teams for over 50 types of projects and individuals spanning 25 different roles across strategy, design, media, marketing and technology. And with more than 70 years of collective agency experience, our knowledge is imbedded in our technology to drive fit-for-purpose matching of talent with your needs. So, my experiences have been diverse. I have raised >$40M in Venture Capital, ran and sold a start-up, led a $700M global company, built new business units, acquired several companies, built software products from scratch and advised over 50 Fortune 500 companies on Business Strategy, Digital Transformation, Marketing, Media and Technology Innovation.
