Shelley holds a M.B.A. from Seattle University and a B.S. in electrical engineering with a minor in mathematics from Washington State University. She also serves on the board of the Moyer Foundation. A veteran of the consulting space, Ben Burke joined Point B in 2004. He has provided leadership and strategic execution to numerous accounts and associates across the firm.
