Hi, I’m Shelly Spiegel, a founder, culture architect, and remote work pioneer.
Whether your organization is in-office, hybrid, or fully remote, the stakes are high for getting culture right.
I’ve led three people-first companies, while staying fiercely committed to strong financial results. I launched Sunnyside Up to help small and mid-size organizations elevate their culture, uncover the issues holding them back, and implement practical, immediate solutions.

About Sunnyside Up
Sunnyside Up helps small and mid-size organizations build a company where people feel valued, connected, and excited to do their best work. You’ll attract top talent and protect your bottom line — avoiding the steep financial, reputational, and productivity losses from high employee turnover.
We give you the most value for your money. Unlike big consulting companies, we’re a lean team of proven leaders who have actually built and run successful businesses. We know how to turn data and analytics into real-world, practical strategies that can be implemented right away.
Sunnyside Up can help you design your ideal culture. While Shelly was CEO of Fire Engine RED, she received hundreds of heartfelt notes from employees who felt valued and inspired. Check out a small sample of those testimonials below.
