Ian Shea is the Founder & CEO of I M Human.

Emotional wellbeing is something that is very important to me, it is at the center of my life.  It is something that I understand and can relate to and believe it is something that cannot be achieved alone.  We all need guidance and support.  Especially organizations, especially now.

Hi, I’m Ian Shea. I have over 30 years of experience building businesses, as a leader and an entrepreneur.  I am currently the Founder & CEO of I M Human.

I M Human is a Wellbeing Strategic Advisory Firm partnering with organizations to design, develop and enhance World Class Wellbeing Strategies.

Sample partners include LinkedIn, HSBC, O’Melveny & Myers (recipient of the #1 Wellbeing Program in the Legal Industry & the One Mind Salus Award for Workplace Mental Health based on our work), New York Police Department, Nixon Peabody, Otsuka Pharmaceutical, American Psychiatric Association (APA), National Alliance of Mental Health (NAMI), Cornell University, University of California at Berkeley and The Montessori Schools.

Prior to I M Human, I founded Maestro Market, a marketplace for experts. Before that, I ran ReplayTV, a successful brand of DVR systems which I sold to DirecTV.

I began my career on Wall Street in the Investment Banking divisions of Prudential Securities and Patricof & Co.

I earned an MBA from Columbia University & UC Berkeley’s HAAS School of Business, where I taught entrepreneurship upon graduation. I earned a BS in Economics from Cornell University.

I am the author of the Wellbeing ChroniclesTM, a newsletter covering the mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing space, co-host of the podcast How We Deal and a frequent speaker on topics related to building a culture of emotional wellbeing.
