Shane Windmeyer is a North Carolina–based DEI strategist, speaker, and advisor who helps organizations build inclusive cultures grounded in trust, fairness, and measurable outcomes. He works with leaders who want to move beyond statements and training-only approaches—toward the systems, behaviors, and accountability that shape everyday employee experience.

Shane partners with executives, HR and DEI teams, and people managers across corporate, nonprofit, association, and higher education environments. His work commonly includes inclusive leadership and manager capability, employee listening and culture diagnostics, talent practices (hiring, development, advancement), and practical integration of DEI into operational rhythms. He is known for a pragmatic, people-centered style that makes complex or sensitive topics easier to address with clarity and care.

Rather than offering one-size-fits-all programming, Shane focuses on what will actually work inside an organization’s real constraints: competing priorities, limited capacity, change fatigue, and stakeholder complexity. Whether advising senior leaders, facilitating challenging conversations, or designing a multi-phase strategy, he emphasizes measurable outcomes and sustainable implementation.

Shane’s perspective is informed by decades of experience advancing inclusion and belonging in education and workplace settings. His background includes extensive work supporting safer and more inclusive environments, particularly within higher education. Today, he continues to support organizations nationwide through consulting, facilitation, and speaking engagements from his home base in North Carolina.
