Shelly Silver
@shellysilver
Passionate about growth, partnerships, acquisitions, & account management in fast-paced environments
What I'm looking for
I’m a dynamic and driven professional with a background in acquisitions, account management, and business development. Most recently, I was a Senior Acquisitions Executive at Filmhub, where I worked closely with top-tier producers and distributors, helping them navigate the ever-changing world of film and TV distribution. I love building relationships, problem-solving, and finding creative ways to drive growth—whether it’s negotiating deals, optimizing workflows, or launching new initiatives.
Before that, I worked in underwriting and insurance, developing key client relationships and gaining valuable experience in risk assessment and strategic planning. No matter the industry, I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can collaborate, innovate, and make an impact.
Outside of work, you’ll find me traveling, spending time with family and friends, or getting lost in a great movie.
