About Shana Tarter

Here I am in three sentences:1. I possess the uncommon ability to transform loose visions into tangible realities.2. I maintain equanimity and empathy in times of adversity and uncertainty.3. I relish building systems that free people to tackle meaningful work.However, if you need a bit more…I am a transformational leader with 30+ years driving change and growth in a $40M global nonprofit, optimizing operations, and boosting revenue through scalable technology solutions. I’ve led numerous large-scale projects, including Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementation and construction of a LEED Platinum Campus. I co-led the world\'s largest wilderness medicine training business, achieving three decades of consecutive growth with $8M in annual revenue and graduates in 50 countries.
