Our Executive Leadership Team
Shelley Gaddie
President / CEO
I am rooted in the belief that leadership is grounded in integrity and humility, forged by experience, and communicated through behavior. My leadership skills have been inspired through a life spent competing academically, athletically, and professionally—in the halls of research and development as a scientist and engineer, as a senior leader in corporate and nonprofit roles, and in supporting the seasoned ProjectCorps team to advance our clients’ success. My drive is focused on building an organization of inclusive, trail-blazing leaders that can give our clients the edge they are looking for. Expect this from me and our team. We will deliver every time.
Debbie Steiner
COO
I made my decision to join ProjectCorps over a 15-minute cup of coffee with Shelley Gaddie. At the time I was sure my career was on-track and that I would continue in Healthcare for another 10 years and retire. One cup of coffee and everything changed. I was brought into ProjectCorps with an opportunity to make a difference – to bring my professionalism, discernment, leadership skills, and decades of corporate experience into a thriving, female-owned consulting company. I am responsible for building a large team of professionals, creating a drama-free culture and helping companies in their time of need. My favorite thing in business has been the opportunity to solve big problems. Now I work for a company that only solves big problems! It’s a perfect fit!
Kim Valenzano
Vice President - Finance & Administration
I am “that Seattle Sounders fan” who isn’t afraid to wave a yellow card and have my voice be heard. When I commit to something, I feel a deep emotional investment and am not afraid of the experience or the outcome. I just want everyone to have an equal chance on the field of life. Italian by birth, chemist by UC Davis, and mom by choice, I am intellectually and analytically driven and admittedly want ideas backed up by rational data. We have worked hard to “handpick” the people within ProjectCorps: honorable, ethical, hardworking seasoned leaders who aren’t afraid to stand up and make a difference. That’s who I am, and if this also resonates with you, send me an e-mail so we can begin a conversation.
