About me
LinkedIn

Board Member, CEO, COO, & Advisor. Former Starbucks, Disney, Planet Fitness & Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Shelli is passionate about building up people and culture to do good through business. Her 25-year global career spans the US, China, Taiwan, Starbucks Coffee Company, The Walt Disney Company, Planet Fitness, and most recently Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. Shelli is well known for leading high-performance teams through rapid growth and transformation to achieve outsized results. She started her career working the front desk at The Ritz-Carlton and retired as the CEO of Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. She has worked every job in between, for start-ups to Fortune 50 companies. She has helped scale a 125-store coffee company to the tens of thousands—yes, Starbucks was a small company back in the day—and she has helped scale a 45-gym business to 170 gyms. Size, while important, is not the key; the people and culture you build are what enable true success. Today she serves on several boards: Fitness Connection, a regional high-value, low-priced fitness chain backed by Roark Capital; Right At School, a national onsite joy and care provider for K-6th graders backed by ONCAP; and Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, a national dine-in cinema backed by Altamont Capital. Additionally, she serves as an advisor for FestivalPass, a Texas-based start-up, and Bao’d Up, a Texas-based fast-casual chain. Things she can advise on: ✔️ First time CEO support ✔️ Tips on working with founders, private equity and / or boards ✔️ Scaling & operations ✔️ Company culture ✔️ Team incentives, driving exponential results by sharing equity broadly ✔️ Leadership development, executive coaching, career transitions ✔️ Mergers & acquisitions / integrations ✔️ Business in China 🇨🇳 ✔️& more "I am passionate about sharing all of my learnings with others on similar journeys.

Generally speaking, most of our customers have been delighted with how much they achieved during their live 1:1 video consultations. We have over 5,000 five-star reviews and a high percentage of our customers rebook the same expert or additional experts because their experience exceeded their expectations. Our most popular sessions are 30 minutes long, but you can still get a lot done during a 15 minute session.

Many of them have shared their desire for Intro's mission — to give everyone access to anyone, empowering each other to build a better world. They also love paying it forward and helping others advance in their journey. With Intro, they now have an easy-to-use platform that makes it simple to connect with like-mind folks like yourself, while also being compensated fairly for their time. In some cases, our experts are also donating a portion or all of their proceeds to the charity of their choice.

Yes! People from all over the world will have access to the most in-demand experts. We currently accept all major credit cards in USD.

Many of our experts sell out quickly. You can wait until they unlock more sessions or if they've enabled our Request a Booking feature, you can request a booking by sending them times that work for you at least seven days out. This feature is free to use and you'll only get charged when they confirm the booking (a credit card pre-auth is required).

It depends on the specific expert. Some experts add sessions weekly and others add sessions monthly. We recommend booking as soon as possible to not miss out.

Yes. You can reschedule calls at least 48 hours before the session. For any cancellations, or reschedules within 48 hours of the session, we do charge a fee to compensate the expert for the last minute change. All cancellations or reschedules must happen in our mobile app.

Yes! We're confident that you'll love your first session, but in the rare case that it did not meet your expectations, let us know and we'll make things right.
