Meet Shandi
Shandi is a Principal with McChrystal Group, supporting the firm’s Government Practice with a focus on helping emergency management agencies build high-performing teams and drive strategic transformation.
What did you do before joining McChrystal Group?
Prior to joining McChrystal Group, I was the Vice President and Preparedness Lead for Emergency Management Partners. In this role, I built the preparedness practice area from scratch, leading or supporting an increase in the firm’s revenue by over $6 million. Shandi was also responsible for the firm’s first non-FEMA federal contract with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services supporting their emergency management program. Prior to EM Partners, I owned an emergency management consulting firm, EM Strategies, LLC. As the Principal, my goal was to empower clients and partners to build stronger emergency management programs, from recovery processes, and debris management planning to strategic comprehensive program development.
Prior to EM Strategies, I was an Associate at Dewberry where I gained experience across the entire spectrum of emergency management. During my time at Dewberry, I supported and managed a number of federal projects at FEMA, DHS US Visit and the National Cooperative Highway Research Program. I also supported a myriad of state and local emergency management projects from across the United States.
Why did you join McChrystal Group?
With the ever-changing landscape of emergency management, I wanted to be part of an organization that is shaping the future of the profession while supporting the growth and development of emergency management leaders.
What is a hidden talent of yours?
I am a connector—I love bringing people together who can learn from and support each other.
Why are you passionate about leaders & teams?
Having a clear mission and vision is critical to success and having a supportive team makes the work we do more enjoyable and effective.
