Elizabeth Valenzuela Banker
CEO & President, Shore Solutions
Ms. Valenzuela Banker is Shore Solutions’ Chief Executive Officer and President. She is a native of Youngstown, Ohio and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Business from Villanova University as well as a Master Certificate in Government Agile Contract Management. Ms. Valenzuela Banker served in the United States Navy as a Quartermaster aboard the USS Howard (DDG83) from 2005-2009. During her enlistment, she received numerous awards and recognition for her knowledge and acumen and was meritoriously advanced. After discharge from the Navy, she served in sales and international sales roles for companies in the government contracting space and eventually decided to pursue her passion.
Ms. Valenzuela Banker’s passion along with her combination of strength, experience, and love of the military community is what drove her to buy Shore Solutions in January 2016. Due to this reorganization and acquisition, Ms. Valenzuela Banker has had to develop and lead a rapid turnaround program. The combined effect of these activities has been to improve cost efficiency, customer satisfaction, employee morale and cohesion to the highest levels in the company's history. In addition, these efforts have positioned Shore Solutions to pursue additional contract opportunities and an increase in profitability.
