Shayne Gilbert thrives in creating connections and building community. Before it became the Seaport, she created the Cyber District, a community of artists and technologists in the old warehouses just beyond the Children’s Museum. A casual lunch of venture capitalists and entrepreneurs led to the founding of the Nantucket Conference, an annual gathering of investors, founders and executives where the connections are valued for their strategic and personal worth. From the Nantucket Conference came the Convergence Forum, a similar community of innovators in healthcare and the life sciences.

Passionate about solving inequities in the workplace community, Shayne founded Campseekers. A national network of childcare providers developed to help alleviate the stress of finding school break solutions for working parents, the network was ultimately acquired by Bright Horizons.

Today, Shayne also serves as the Executive Director of the Canadian Entrepreneurs in New England (CENE) where she helps to strengthen cross-border relationships between Canadians in the United States and their counterparts in Canada.

Her personal passions include STEM education, specifically for girls, for which she created the Girl Hackathon. Shayne has also enjoyed working within the Beacon Hill community, with involvement in both the Myrtle Street Playground and the Phillips Street Playground. She also supports various theater and arts initiatives.
