About Tess Connor
Dynamic executive leader with a unique blend of marketing, operations, and growth strategy experience across mission-driven organizations and complex commercial businesses. I bring 20+ years of proven success leading high-performing teams, scaling revenue, and launching innovative platforms that fuse purpose with performance. As Chief Growth and Operating Officer at Northwest Center, I oversee five diverse business units — from commercial printing to staffing and circular economy ventures — driving over $60M in annual revenue. I’ve led major initiatives including the launch of Print It Forward.net, a digital platform where profits fund disability inclusion. My leadership is rooted in building inclusive cultures, optimizing operations, and driving double-digit growth in competitive sectors. Passionate about using business as a force for good, I thrive at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and execution. Whether scaling startups or revitalizing legacy operations, I bring creativity, clarity, and conviction to every challenge. Let’s connect if you’re building bold ideas with heart or interested in learning more about the businesses that help fuel Northwest Center!
