Liam Shanahan

Director of Digital Marketing, Wela

Atlanta

Former Professional Baseball Player and Collegiate Baseball Coach

Started my first business at 25 in the sports and fitness space

With a growing interest in technology, software in particular, I made my first angel investment with a company in the medical/tech space in 2013. I then started my first tech company in the Video on Demand space in 2014. My goal was to make personal trainers accessible from anywhere at anytime via mobile video.

In late 2015 I started a creative/marketing agency after being approached by so many small business owners with questions on where to start their process of marketing. We now work with large celebrity brands to small startups on everything from web design to merchandising and brand consulting.

Finally, I joined a company called Wela in the end of Q4 to lead marketing efforts. We have a mission to change the way financial advice is delivered by combining mobile, machine learning technology, with human advisors.
