Shelley May
Shelley May is an award winning business broker, completing more than 140 successful business sales since 2013.
Known for her entrepreneurial spirit and competitive drive, Shelley’s career is uniquely shaped by her roots as a New Zealand representative in skateboarding, BMX, and barefoot water skiing—a national champion and world championship bronze medalist is testament to her determination and focus on achieving ambitious goals.
Her passion for water sports evolved into a 25-year entrepreneurial journey in Takapuna, where she co-founded a ski school and retail shop specializing in snow and water skiing. Shelley and her brother pioneered this venture and evolved it into a nationwide import and distribution business, introducing iconic global brands such as O’Brien Water Skis, Wavelength wetsuits, and The Barefoot Company Gear to the New Zealand market. Shelley’s ability to build a robust dealer network from the ground up demonstrated her sharp business acumen and innovative mindset. In 2012, she sold this passion-driven business, which continues to thrive to this day.
Now, Shelley focuses on empowering others to achieve their business goals, whether it’s buying or selling a business. With expertise in industries such as health, wellness, ecommerce, import/export, and sustainability, she seamlessly works with businesses ranging from small owner-operated ventures to multi-million-dollar organizations.
Shelley’s approach blends strategic insight, deep industry knowledge, and a genuine passion for connecting people with opportunities. Her goal is to provide every client with unparalleled expertise and personalized service, ensuring a seamless and rewarding experience.
Whether you’re dreaming of acquiring your next venture or preparing to sell, Shelley is ready to guide you every step of the way. Let’s connect—over coffee, tea, or a green smoothie—and discuss how she can help you make your next big move.
