Shama formed The Marketing Zen Group in 2009. Since then, the company has grown, includes 25 employees and a dozen or more clients that range from publicly held, Fortune 1000 companies to privately held small businesses and non-profit organizations. The company serves clients worldwide, including companies in Europe, Asia and Central and South Americas. Since its start in 2009, average company growth is 400 percent. In 2011, the company expects to surpass this growth rate.
Prior to forming Marketing Zen, Shama successfully built and sold a coaching practice. Prior to that, she was a college student. She earned her master’s degree in organizational communications from The University of Texas in Austin. She also earned a bachelor’s degree in Corporate Communication at UT-Austin.
