Shannon Wheatman

I bridge two critical worlds: legal notice expertise and artificial intelligence innovation. As Partner at Signal Interactive Media and Head of AI for The Messina Group, I lead the integration of cutting-edge AI technologies across our full-service consulting firm while maintaining my position as a court-recognized legal notice expert.

Legal Notice Leadership: With over 20 years specializing in legal notice and media strategies for complex class actions, bankruptcies, and mass tort cases, I've delivered 700+ expert opinions with 100% court approval. Working alongside the Federal Judicial Center, I pioneered plain-language notice standards that transform complex legal information into accessible formats that empower claimants to understand their rights and take action. My expertise spans multi-channel notice program design, strategic media deployment, and the creation of innovative solutions that withstand judicial scrutiny while reaching diverse and targeted audiences.

AI Innovation & Transformation: As Head of AI for The Messina Group, I'm spearheading enterprise-wide AI adoption across corporate, legal, public relations, and political consulting services. I've invested hundreds of hours mastering AI technologies, completing 30+ AI courses, and building AI agents, digital twins, and custom GPTs that drive organizational efficiency. I lead strategic workflow audits to identify automation opportunities and champion AI implementation across all business units, positioning our firm at the forefront of data-driven consulting.

Unique Value Proposition: This rare combination of deep legal expertise and AI leadership enables me to reimagine how technology enhances legal communications, media strategies, and client service delivery. I'm passionate about using data science and AI to deliver unparalleled solutions that inform, engage, and empower consumers and businesses across legal, corporate, and political spheres.

Shannon Wheatman is a Head of AI and legal notice expert with over 20 years translating complex information into accessible formats—now applying that same clarity to enterprise AI transformation.

She architects multi-model verification systems, builds production applications without engineering training, and has developed sophisticated mental models for AI failure modes that let her catch problems before they compound. Her approach to prompt construction shows system-level thinking: explicit constraints, validation steps, and clear frameworks for when to specify versus delegate.

What makes Shannon's trajectory compelling: she's not just personally fluent—she's building the infrastructure for organizational AI capability, from custom workflow tools to systematic training programs. Her rare combination of legal expertise, decision psychology PhD, and hands-on technical building positions her to solve problems most AI practitioners can't even see.
