Through BABLE’s extensive work across Europe and and now North America, Shannon brings deep expertise in how forward‑thinking policies, investment models, and technology adoption can align to deliver measurable impact. Her experience spans relevant topics including electrification, connected mobility, and the design of integrated urban systems that foster collaboration between public authorities, industry leaders, and emerging innovators. Shannon has worked with local governments to overcome regulatory and financial barriers, advised on market entry strategies for pioneering solutions, and helped shape cross‑border initiatives that accelerate innovation ecosystems. She draws on a background in public health, urban policy, and strategic foresight to bridge the gap between visionary plans and real‑world delivery — building networks that benefit both public sector leaders and private‑sector trailblazers.
