Cherry Shaw serves as Executive Director of Austin Bridge Builders Alliance (ABBA). She joined ABBA in 2023 and has faithfully served as Director of Operations for the past two years, bringing both strategic leadership and a deep commitment to the organization’s mission.

Cherry and her husband, Brent, have two sons, ages 21 and 17. Their family moved to Austin after spending nearly five years on the mission field in Mozambique, where Cherry oversaw the operations and finances of a school and child sponsorship program serving more than 400 vulnerable children. This experience shaped her passion for developing leaders and investing in lives with eternal impact.

Prior to her time overseas, Cherry built an 18-year career in banking and wealth management. Whether in corporate America or on the mission field, she has consistently viewed her work as both worship and a calling—an opportunity to serve others and advance God’s purposes.

Cherry holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from Carson-Newman University. She is deeply passionate about seeing lives transformed by Jesus and desires to equip and encourage others to love Him fully and make Him known in every sphere of influence.
