WILTON MANORS, FL, November 9, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Shannon Leon has been recognized for achievement in staffing, training and hospitality.

Ms. Leon currently serves as the owner and chief executive officer of Wincore Wellness & Staffing, a role she has held since 2020. In this capacity, she is responsible for supplying highly trained, service-oriented therapists to high-end spas across the country. Her focus remains on growth and ensuring that only the most qualified professionals represent her company.

Inspired by the challenges of COVID-19, Ms. Leon founded Wincore with the goal of building a company that prioritizes care for both clients and employees. That commitment is especially important for massage therapists, who often lack access to health care because of their status as independent contractors. At Wincore, therapists are employed directly for 15 hours per week and receive free health care benefits.

A leader in the industry, Ms. Leon is highly results-oriented, as is her company. She surrounds herself with people who create positive energy and promote positive friction, challenging one another to grow. This environment fosters success in young people, and Wincore takes chances on them.

Since founding the company, Ms. Leon has expanded her business to include ownership and management of three spas. She works closely with her husband, who oversees operations as her business partner. Together, they are preparing to launch a secondary division, Wincore Wellness Academy, which will operate primarily online with a classroom component. The academy is designed to further elevate standards in the wellness industry by providing comprehensive training.

Ms. Leon began her career in hotel operations and worked her way up, becoming one of the first female general managers at Marriott Hotels. After serving as a general manager, she moved into corporate leadership at Hilton Hotels, where she became director of training and content development. During her more than two decades with Hilton, she oversaw a team of 125 people responsible for conducting owners' meetings, sales training and service training nationwide. When COVID-19 made in-person training impossible, her team assembled a video library to deliver essential content remotely.

Additionally, Ms. Leon served as director of brand performance support at Hilton, where she worked directly with hotel owners to develop and open approximately 13 properties from inception to completion. Her efforts extended beyond physical expansion to developing individuals who began in entry-level management roles and advanced to director and general manager roles under her mentorship.

Ms. Leon's educational background includes an associate degree in theatre arts from Saddleback College, earned in 1987. She credits her drive and unwavering sense of accountability as key factors in her success. From an early age, having grown up in the hospitality industry, Ms. Leon learned the importance of taking ownership rather than simply fulfilling responsibilities. This philosophy has set her apart throughout her career and guided her ascent from operations roles to executive leadership.

Throughout her journey, Ms. Leon has been recognized with numerous awards for excellence in hospitality and leadership. She is an inductee into Hilton's Circle of Leaders and has received Platinum Status Service Awards as well as accolades for best-run hotels and various revenue achievements.

Born in Phoenix, Ms. Leon is devoted to her blended family of six children and one grandson. She is also civically engaged, donating to organizations such as Ronald McDonald House and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Looking ahead, she remains committed to running a business that supports those who dedicate their careers to caring for others while continuing to foster growth within the wellness industry through innovative training initiatives like Wincore Wellness Academy.
