In his new role as partner, Totah will lead BOCAteers to excel in BOCA’s cornerstones of outstanding client service, operational excellence, staff nurturing and new business development.

I am proud of BOCA’s outstanding client service and equally proud of our winning culture — #BOCALife — resulting in happy employees that feel challenged and respected,” said Totah. “Working side-by-side this past decade with Kathleen, so many amazing BOCAteers and our incredible clients has been a gift. I look forward to the next decade where we push boundaries, elevate narratives and change the world, one story at a time.”
Prior to joining the BOCA team, Totah spent time working on the production side of Fox Broadcasting Company. He also had a stint at Golin Harris. During the Great Recession, he held sales positions within electronics organizations before finding his path to corporate communications. Totah earned his degree from San Francisco State University in Communications Studies with an emphasis in Performance Arts.
BOCA Partner’s Origins
A match made from the beginning, both Totah and Shanahan have their roots in the arts, providing a strong foundation for creative thinking and narratives, verbal as well as visual. Totah is a classically trained musician with 20+ years of performing arts in his back pocket. In fact, Totah performed on stage with renowned Mexican-American musician Carlos Santana and his son Salvador Santana during the world tours of 2004 and 2005. Shanahan graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a double bachelors in Art History and History, where she strived to perfect the written word that paired with visual artistic elements. Like Shanahan, Totah is a self-made American with mixed heritage. While Shanahan has an Irish and South American heritage, Totah’s is Mexican and Palestinian. Forging their own paths has developed an intrinsic bond toward inclusivity and compassion that is evident in the BOCA culture.
