About Us


Shirley S. Savage is a writer and communications strategist. 

   
   
   


She is fascinated by tech, science, finance, energy, and the way innovative people think. She's curious about the people who create and develop concepts and products. How did the idea come about? The story behind it is always captivating. 

 

With such powerful curiosity, it’s unsurprising that her writing output is varied, too. Her work regularly appears in IBM Systems Magazine. She also has had articles published in Teradata Magazine, IEEE Spectrum, Global Finance, and other publications. She's written newsletters about nanotechnology and advanced manufacturing technologies including 3-D printing for Frost & Sullivan. 

 

She produces newsletters for trade associations and municipalities. She also was the public relations representative for the Weather Risk Management Association and HEDNA, the Hotel Electronic Distribution Network Association. 

 

She has authored several management reports including Power Market Risk: How To Survive (& Prosper) In Crazy Times (Thinking Energy) and Power Market Risk Management: A Survival Guide (FT Energy). 

 

She began her writing career as an energy journalist, writing for several publications owned by The McGraw-Hill Companies. 

 

She also had the pleasure of being a “talking head” many times on CNBC during her energy career. She has also appeared on local NBC affiliate WCSH6 as an oil expert.

 

Even in her spare time, technology is never far away. Shirley is an unabashed opera lover and thrilled to watch opera stage craft becoming more and more technologically driven. 


As a voice actor, Shirley originated the character of Regina Miranda in the Restless Shores soap opera podcast. Her voice can also be heard in various Online Stage productions including the Narrator of Serge the Superman.

 

She is a graduate of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
