Tom Shea is the co-founder and CRO of Adgile, an OOH advertising startup that specializes in truck side advertising. After graduating from Boston College in 2016, Tom joined McMaster-Carr, a 3K+ person supply company that provides businesses with hardware, tools, raw materials, industrial materials, and maintenance equipment.
