Regional Engineering Manager Stacy Shirley finds career success
Making her mark as JLL's first female engineer
Today, Stacy is part of the Engineering Services Team and is enjoying the collaboration and teamwork with her new team. She was raised with an appreciation for order and process which came from being raised by her father, who was a Navy SEAL. Observing how his unit operated as a well-oiled machine putting teamwork first, left a lasting impression on Stacy. In her current role she provides leadership to engineers, offering career guidance and growth, and manages efficiencies and business development opportunities.
“The most rewarding part of my job is the mentorship and watching people grow, get better, and take ownership of a building,” she shared. “I’ve had strong and important mentors in my career. I know how important that is, and I look to emulate them as I coach up future leadership.”
Outside of work, Stacy carries the title of “World Series Winner” in competitive softball as a former member of the Atlanta Women’s League. Stacy and her wife, Kate, have a passion for Pit Bull advocacy and rescue in the Atlanta metro area. She and Kate were previously lead organizers for the non-profit, The Coalition to Unchain Dogs and worked with residents of underserved communities to educate about responsible pet ownership.
