About the Founder

Heather Mae Shampine is the founder of Blue2Gray Consulting, bringing over two decades of hands-on experience in emergency management, disaster response, and operational logistics. A seasoned leader known for her adaptability, integrity, and grit, Heather has served in both the field and at the strategic level—supporting local jurisdictions, state agencies, federal partners, and private-sector organizations across the country.

Blue2Gray is a direct reflection of Heather’s philosophy: that the real work of emergency management happens long before the skies turn gray. She created the firm to fill a growing need for ego-less, mission-driven support—whether planning during blue skies or responding in times of crisis.

With a reputation for straight talk, calm under pressure, and collaborative problem-solving, Heather leads with heart, hustle, and a relentless focus on helping clients succeed no matter the circumstance.
