Kevin Lightfoot

Shelli and the Ad Hoc team facilitated the M&A communications for six acquisitions for ACS (Affiliated Computer Services) and Xerox. Each deal varied in its unique complexity and required customized marketing communications to ensure a smooth transition. Shelli was a tireless and creative resource who identified headwinds before they were an issue and worked tirelessly to ensure all audiences were well-informed and understood the benefits of each transaction.

Brian Timmons

I'm always amazed at the reach and relationships Shelli can bring to the table. It's more than just time and experience, it's her ability to engage consistently; either she never sleeps or is the most efficient person I know!

Steve Weston

Shelli truly understands the BPO/Cx Consulting industry well beyond anyone I have worked with. Shelli has done an amazing job of broadening our exposure across multiple verticals in a very short time. Her planning and execution is second to none!

      • 1995 - 1996

      I helped to manage ACI’s and sister company’s, U.S. Software, development and implementation of public relations and integrated marketing communications and branding strategies around the world, specifically in North and South America, Western Europe, South Africa, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific regions. For ACI Worldwide, I helped to lead publicity efforts to build market acceptance of the banking software that ran the first shared Automated Teller Machine (ATM) network for the Dalian Credit Card Network of China, the first U.S. First Union VISA Cash stored-value smart card deployment and various home banking software initiatives for Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) and Checkfree Corporation. Around 1996, the Internet was just taking off and I came up with the idea to offer on-demand strategic and marketing services to the under-served technology start ups who did not have the budget to hire a full-time marketing staff or a traditional advertising agency, It was then that I decided in 1996 to found Ad Hoc Communication Resources.
