Shanna Adamic Biography

Shanna Adamic is an American keynote speaker, executive leader, and author known for her philosophy of "audacious optimism." As Executive Director of the Oracle Health Foundation and Director of Social Impact, she has over 20 years of experience in corporate philanthropy, leading initiatives to remove financial barriers to healthcare for children worldwide. She spearheaded her team through the largest merger in healthcare/IT history with Oracle, achieving a historic first by securing support for a 501(c)(3) organization during the merger. A former NFL cheerleader for the Kansas City Chiefs for nearly a decade and a regional Emmy winner, Adamic’s most compelling story is her survival of a life-threatening acoustic neuroma brain tumor in 2018, which left her partially deaf. With a 4% chance of regaining right-side facial function, her optimism fueled a near-full recovery. Her memoir, “Audacious Optimism” (2024), inspires resilience and hope.
