A message from Nancy

On the personal side

"I'm the youngest of 15 children and have been making a difference in male-dominated industries for decades. I thank my parents and siblings — including my seven brothers — for helping me build that capability."

I am retired from a long, exciting career at John Deere. I love the freedom of retirement and the time spent with my family and friends.

I am passionate about empowering individuals and teams. My favorite project pairs strategy and culture to create excitement and deliver on meaningful results — personally or professionally.
