Nancy’s background includes diverse disciplines and industries, providing a rich source of knowledge and perspective—and honing her innate ability to perceive clearly what others often don’t. She served in leadership roles at publicly held ILX Resorts Incorporated from start-up through sale, including vice chair, president, and chief operating officer—and she was chief financial officer during the company’s initial public offering.

In addition to her time with ILX, Nancy played a key role in numerous organizations. She was appointed CEO for a multistate business undergoing reorganization, where she successfully led its return to profitability. As the treasurer of a private holding company, she was part of a team targeting undervalued companies for acquisition, adding value through operational efficiency or consolidation, and strategically holding for long-term appreciation or selling for near-term gain. At one of the foremost real estate developers in the Southwest, she was responsible for repositioning the company to capitalize on changing market opportunities and was recruited to a professional services and consulting firm to develop a specialty practice. Earlier in her career, she gained invaluable training and experience with major companies, including international accounting firm Arthur Anderson and for-profit higher education company DeVry.
