Bio
Mary Ann O'Connell, CFE
Have you ever met a person that you want to know well immediately because they radiate intelligence, professionalism and warmth? That's Nancy! I have known Nancy for about 8 years and served on several committees and task forces with her. In those situations she has displayed strong leadership by quickly assessing volatile situations and bring widely disparate groups to consensus.Work is always completed to the highest standard and on time. Talking with her is like talking to an encyclopedia of operations knowledge that can be applied across business sectors. All this, and she is FUN! That can't be underrated when looking for leaders: Nancy makes people want to do their best. I am fortunate to have her as friend and any company would be fortunate to have her on their executive team.

Nancy is dedicated, focused and smart. She zones in on the most important aspects of any project and most importantly, gets stuff done. She was able to lead both franchisees and corporate employees to success with her unwavering energy and dedication. I would work with Nancy again in a heartbeat.
