Shelley Grell

I am the founder and director of Communicate IT, a Public Relations and marketing consultancy that specialises in servicing technology innovators and exporters. I am Accredited in PR and a committed member of the Public Relations Institute of NZ. I am also on the committee of the Canterbury Software Cluster - a not for profit organisation that supports the local software industry. My background is both in IT (programmer and business systems consultant) and in journalism, marketing & PR. Prior to immigrating to NZ in 1996, I developed my career working for leading technology agencies and blue chip clients in London. I am married and have a young son who I hope one day will follow in the footsteps of the many inspiring entrepreneurs I have had the pleasure to work with over the years.
