Shane Hackett

Founder & Managing Partner
Market Leverage

Shane Hackett is a growth strategist, market-structure advisor, and founder of Market Leverage, where he works with companies to design, position, and scale strategies that convert market opportunity into durable traction. With a background rooted in execution, Shane is known for translating complex market dynamics into actionable systems that drive visibility, demand, and sustained growth.

Throughout his career, Shane has worked closely with founders, executives, and leadership teams navigating competitive markets, shifting narratives, and inflection points in scale. His work focuses on understanding how markets actually behave—how attention moves, how capital reacts, how narratives form, and how timing and positioning often matter as much as product or capital itself.

Shane’s approach blends strategic insight with practical execution. He has advised companies on go-to-market strategy, brand positioning, demand generation, audience growth, and leverage-driven expansion, helping organizations avoid common growth traps such as premature scaling, misaligned messaging, and inefficient capital deployment. Rather than chasing visibility for its own sake, his work centers on creating repeatable systems that compound over time.

At Market Leverage, Shane leads engagements that focus on identifying where real leverage exists within a business—whether through market positioning, distribution channels, strategic partnerships, or narrative alignment—and then building frameworks to exploit that leverage intelligently. He is particularly effective at helping companies sharpen their message, clarify their value proposition, and align execution with how their target market actually makes decisions.

Shane is respected for his clarity, directness, and ability to cut through noise. He does not approach advisory work from a theoretical distance, but from an operator’s mindset—testing assumptions, measuring outcomes, and refining strategy based on real-world feedback. His clients value his ability to challenge thinking constructively while remaining deeply invested in execution and results.

As Founder and Managing Partner of Market Leverage, Shane oversees strategy, client engagement, and execution frameworks, working hands-on with leadership teams to ensure that growth initiatives are not only ambitious, but sustainable and defensible.
