Ardian Group Revenue and Competitors

“Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself:” a quote [George Bernard Shaw] that Maria Shelton, founder of Ardian Group and Ardian Technologies, lives by, taking her vision of secure data handling from a small company run out of her basement to a multi-million dollar global presence. With nearly 30 years of experience in operations, leadership, and innovation, Maria is responsible for implementing secure data-driven technology and project-management solutions for global impact events and organizations like the Presidential Inaugurations, NBA All-Star, the Emmy Awards, Philadelphia Eagles, various non-profit organizations, and much more. As a minority woman in the field of information technology and security, Maria's tireless determination, singular focus, and creativity were requirements for her to achieve her goals. She holds that grit and perseverance as an example to other aspiring entrepreneurs, recognizing how much persistence is required to achieve dreams. To those women, and her own two daughters, she offers this advice: don't be afraid to have big goals and trust your ability to reach them. As long as you continue to work toward your vision, you're closer to achieving your dream than if you stop, intimidated by the enormity of it. When away from Ardian, Maria is a dedicated wife and mother to her three children. Together, they are forever grateful for their success and for the people who helped to bring it about.
