My goal is straightforward – to help serious business owners generate more clients!

Small Business Breakthroughs Magazine

I know what it's like for leaders to feel the weight of big goals without a clear path to achieve them. After more than 20 years in finance, strategy, and corporate operations, I have seen how even the successful businesses often leave growth potential untapped. 

That's why I founded Denali Edge Consulting; to help executives and business owners uncover hidden opportunities, streamline what's not working, and move forward with confidence. Just like climbing Denali, reaching new heights in business requires strategy, resilience, and the right guide by your side.

At Denali Edge, growth isn't just about numbers on a spreadsheet. It's about equipping leaders with clarity and direction so they can make smart decisions, strengthen their teams, and position their businesses for long-term success. 

Shannon Howard is the Founder & CEO of Denali Edge Consulting, bringing more than 20 years of experience in finance, strategy, and corporate operations. Throughout her career, she has overseen multimillion-dollar budgets, led cross-functional teams, and partnered with executives to solve complex challenges in both the corporate and nonprofit sectors. 

Her expertise extends beyond financial strategy; Shannon has a gift for creating clarity out of complexity. She combines her background as a finance executive with advanced training as a Certified Life & Performance Coach, equipping leaders with both data-driven insights and the confidence to act on them. 

Shannon is a graduate of the Alaska Native Executive Leadership Program (ANELP) and the Ataku Manager Program, two competitive leadership development programs that emphasize executive presence, cultural stewardship, and strategic growth. She also holds a Masters of Accountancy from Western Governors University and has been a featured speaker for organizations such as the Accounting & Finance Women's Alliance (AFWA). 

Her mission is simple: to help executives and business owners uncover hidden opportunities, streamline operations, and position their organizations for long-term success.
