Insider Info
Meet Our CEO
Following a 14-year career in IT before acquiring Premier Connects in 2018, CEO and Creative Director Alyssa Smith intimately understands—and values—the grit, innovation, and agile leadership necessary to (re)build a thriving company.
With her mission-driven, female-run company, Alyssa has worked hard to create spaces for intentional, thought-provoking conversations and inclusive spaces for both seasoned keynote speakers and those unaccustomed to invitations to use their voices for impact.

"Exceeded my expectations for a virtual CIO forum, well planned and executed with no disruptions. Topics and speakers were very enriching, virtually engaging and thought provoking. Talk Shifts tips were practical yet profound, this alone was a true gift to take away from the event."
