Our speaker this month is Katie Shahan. Katie is a recent transplant to the Omaha area. Raised in Colorado, Katie attended Midland University from 2005-2009 before accepting a job as an Office Manager for a small software development firm in Minneapolis, MN. After taking on sales, implementation and operations, Katie worked her way up to President and CEO of AcuStaf Development Corporation. Over the course of 4 years, Katie was able to grow annual revenue to $6 Million while maintaining roughly 90% gross margins. She provided fiscal, strategic and operational leadership and successfully negotiated the sale of the corporation. With her exit from AcuStaf, she founded MDI with the intent to provide custom software development solutions to government agencies and real estate brokerages. In 2020, Katie started development on the Yarlow App. Yarlow is a mobile app that helps users build confidence in home-owning and increases transparency in the transaction process. To understand the transaction process fully, Katie also created her own real estate brokerage and is currently a licensed broker in MN, FL and NE.
