Ashley Shaw

Chief Executive Officer

Ashley founded LightSpeed in 2003. The company changed from computer and network support to a website development company in 2007. His passion for the open-source community lead him to get involved in organising WordCamp and WordPress Meetup events. As an avid traveller, Ashley has attended WordCamps on 3 continents.

As founder and CEO of the company, his time is split between generating or nurturing leads around the world, client consultation and managing his global team of WordPress professionals.
Outside of work, sport and physical exercise play a major role in his life. At 14 he started serious mountain biking and during his teens, he earned provincial colours 3 times and won the provincial championships once in 1998. Later in his life he has discovered the wonders of long-distance running.
