Technology Director

Brent Shiely is a smart cookie. He created his first website in 8th grade, helped start Microsoft Windows Media Center (fun fact: Brent claims he's one of 13 people in the world who uses it to the fullest), and specializes in simplifying the complex.

Before landing a gig at General Mills, Brent earned two MBA's one from UCLA and the other from the University of Singapore. He also spent time roaming the halls of Digital River and Microsoft. Brent helped Microsoft have a worldwide launch of Office 2007 and Windows Vista through digital distribution a first for Microsoft. 

Brent joined MIMA to help bridge the gap between technology and marketing principles.

Advice to my peers: "Marketers, learn more about technology. Developers, learn more about marketing."
