Shane Flynn

Shane oversees Alumni and Special Programs at the DMZ. The department engages DMZ’s growing alumni network to give back to DMZ’s community, along with providing opportunities for them to benefit from DMZ’s ever-expanding global network. In addition, Shane also leads initiatives which exist outside of standard procedure at the DMZ.

Joining the DMZ in the Fall of 2012 as student staff, Shane graduated into a full-time role holding a variety of positions from front desk assistant to an operational coordinator, and ultimately landing on the programs team. Shane has led various programs, including the Validator/Incubator, developing the DMZ’s first Accelerator, Playbook, and implementing the programming when DMZ moved from a membership fee model to an equity-based program over the pandemic.

Shane holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the Ted Rogers School of Management at Toronto Metropolitan University.
