About Shawnee Global LLC

Driving economic growth and opportunity through strategic federal contracting and diverse business ventures.

Our Story

Shawnee Global LLC is a tribally owned holding company established by the Shawnee Tribe to lead its entry into the federal contracting space through the SBA’s 8(a) Business Development Program. Formed in 2025, Shawnee Global is designed to drive long-term economic growth, build sustainable revenue streams, and expand opportunities that support the Tribe’s mission of self-determination and prosperity for future generations.

Guided by experienced leadership and grounded in integrity, innovation, and resilience, Shawnee Global seeks to deliver value through strategic business ventures and partnerships across a wide range of industries. As a wholly owned entity of the Shawnee Tribe, our profits are reinvested directly into initiatives that benefit Tribal citizens and strengthen economic sovereignty.

With a vision for meaningful growth and a foundation rooted in service to the Shawnee people, Shawnee Global is not just building a business — we’re building a legacy.

Meet The CEO

Tyler Levier serves as the inaugural CEO of Shawnee Global LLC, bringing more than a decade of leadership in Native economic development and federal contracting. He guides Shawnee Global’s strategic direction as the organization enters the SBA’s 8(a) Business Development Program and advances the Shawnee Tribe’s presence in the federal marketplace.

Before joining Shawnee Global, Tyler served as Chief Operating Officer for a tribally owned economic development organization, where he broadened the enterprise portfolio and accelerated growth through disciplined operations and strategic planning. These experiences laid the foundation for his CEO leadership today—shaping his ability to build scalable systems, cultivate meaningful partnerships, and position Shawnee Global for sustainable success.

Driven by integrity, values-centered leadership, and a deep commitment to Indian Country, Tyler is dedicated to creating long-term economic value for Tribal communities. His leadership positions Shawnee Global to become a powerful driver of opportunity for the Shawnee Tribe and future generations.
