MARTHA SHAUGHNESSY - FOUNDER, THE KEY PR
Martha [https://www.linkedin.com/in/marthashaughnessy/] started her
career in public relations. She leads programs for the opening of
Union Square, the Asian Art Museum and other iconic San Francisco
institutions. She got her feet wet in tech there and went to explore
tech PR. Because of the team's success launching companies like
Mint.com and LivingSocial, the team grew and Martha was selected to
run its flagship office in San Francisco. A lumpy acquisition and two
kids later, Martha was the big boss lady and felt too far from the
impact that had drawn her to communications, so she laid herself off
to create the kind of company she thinks the world needs. Martha now
owns her own PR firm.
