Shena Kohler: Founder & Principal Consultant

Meet the Founder — Shena Kohler

Born and raised in southern Wisconsin, Shena Kohler built ReadyPoint Strategies on the values that define the Midwest: hard work, integrity, accountability, and showing up when it matters most.

With nearly two decades of experience in law enforcement and emergency management, Shena brings a rare combination of crisis leadership, disaster coordination, and business continuity expertise to the private sector. She has led multi-agency emergency operations, supported complex recovery efforts, and advised organizations across Wisconsin on preparedness, resilience, and operational restoration. 

A graduate of the Naval Postgraduate School’s Center for Homeland Defense and Security, Shena has worked alongside Wisconsin Emergency Management, FEMA, and public-safety partners throughout the region. Through these experiences, she built a national network of trusted recovery, continuity, and emergency management professionals now supporting ReadyPoint’s coast-to-coast capabilities.

Today, Shena is redefining emergency management for non-government organizations, delivering the public-safety precision, experience, and coordination they need when it matters most.

ReadyPoint Strategies provides practical emergency management and safety services based on real-world experience.

ReadyPoint was founded to bring real-world emergency management and safety expertise directly to organizations that need it most.

With experience in public safety, emergency operations, and incident coordination, ReadyPoint understands what works during real emergencies — and what does not.

We focus on practical solutions that help organizations prepare for disruptions, respond effectively, and recover quickly.
