Since 1992, Nancy has led the Human Resources team for Room & Board, a 100% employee-owned (ESOP) business with more than 1,000 staff members and annual revenues in excess of $600 million. Nancy also serves on the Board of Directors for the company.

As an omni-channel retailer of contemporary home furnishings, Room & Board strives to create exceptional experiences for their customers to help them create homes they love. Nancy’s role is to ensure that a staff member’s experience at Room & Board is equally gratifying. 

Nancy guides a team whose purpose is to foster a work environment that supports a staff member’s desire to contribute to the success of the business, while creating an environment where each individual thrives because they can be themselves. Room & Board has consistently been recognized as a top employer and is proud to be a certified B Corporation.

Further, Nancy plays a key role in defining and executing Room & Board’s philanthropic strategies to protect our environment as well as strengthen the communities in which we live and work.

Nancy is a sought-after speaker at top universities and business forums, sharing expertise and innovative thought leadership in business strategy and culture-based leadership development, as well as staff member engagement and well-being. Her efforts are laser-focused on preserving Room & Board’s core philosophies and business culture while stimulating company growth. 

Nancy received her MBA from the University of Buffalo. She has also held progressive HR roles in premier companies such as the Pillsbury Company as well as small start-ups.
