Gary Shapiro Biography

Gary Shapiro is the President and CEO of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®, which represents over 1500 consumer technology companies, and owns and produces CES® — The Global Stage for Innovation, the world's largest annual tech trade show. 

A Georgetown Law graduate, Shapiro began his career as an associate at the Squire Sanders law firm before working on Capitol Hill as an assistant to a U.S. Congressman and later, as a lobbyist. As his experience in law and politics progressed, he became aligned with the world of technology, which eventually brought him into the fold of the CTA®. 

With over 35 years at the helm of the organization, Shapiro has led, inspired, and influenced the tech industry and tech policy governing American businesses today, as well as the integration of technology in all industries of the world. Additionally, CTA® has won numerous awards for its healthy workplace, family friendly employment practices, and environmentally friendly exhibition practices.

Shapiro is a New York Times bestselling author, whose books include “Ninja Future: Secrets to Success in the New World of Innovation," “Ninja Innovation: The Ten Killer Strategies of the World’s Most Successful Businesses,” and “The Comeback: How Innovation will Restore the American Dream.” Through these books, television guest appearances, and as a columnist whose more than 1200 opinion pieces have appeared in publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and The Washington Post, Shapiro has helped direct policymakers and business leaders on the importance of innovation and technology in the U.S. economy. 

Shapiro serves as a member of the CTA® Executive Board, NAM Board of Directors of the Council of Manufacturing Associations, the Board of the Focused Ultrasound Foundation, the Board of Directors of the Northern Virginia Technology Council, and the Trade Show Executive Editorial Board.

He was awarded the Légion d'Honneur (Legion of Honor) by French President Emmanuel Macron in 2021.
