Finding your “WHO” Shelia Matthews
Shelia Matthews has joined the Wilson360 team as culture practice leader and first-ever chief people officer. She leads people and organizational performance consulting for Wilson360 clients.
Shelia Matthews’ approach to scaling businesses is simple. Get the people part right and everything else falls into place. Shelia has worked with businesses from many different industries like manufacturing, services, and private equity to name a few. She’s worked for large Fortune companies like UPS and MetLife, and most recently, a small startup known as Acquisition.com, where she oversaw the People Operations function and scaled the company from a handful of employees to an army of amazing talent. While working in the private equity space, she helped hundreds of founders and business owners identify constraints in their business and offered practical solutions to help them scale.
Although Shelia loves the work she does, she is most passionate about helping business owners level up their companies. She strongly believes that you must have an understanding of the business in order to build a strong and healthy culture to support it. “Knowing HR and understanding people isn’t enough. You must be able to translate culture into profitability,” she says, right along with, “It’s more affordable to do the right thing for your people than you realize.”
Shelia is the founder of Culture Pro, LLC, where she offers fractional People Operations leadership to small services-based businesses. Culture Pro’s mission is to create environments where people thrive and the business flourishes.
Though originally from Florida, Shelia currently lives in the Atlanta suburbs with her husband and two children, who are five and ten years old. Her son is a competitive swimmer, and her daughter believes she is a princess. When Shelia isn’t being her kids’ personal Uber driver, she spends her free time at the gym, traveling, or hiking with Ranger, the family’s Boxer dog. Shelia received an MBA from Colorado State University and prior to that, graduated with highest honors from the University of North Florida, where she received a bachelor’s degree in psychology.
