Tonia Teasley, former Executive Director of PACER Center is a Mission-driven executive skilled at identifying the obstacles to achieving an organization’s mission and turning them into opportunities. By telling a vivid story of the future for all stakeholders, I inspire commitment to the strategic plan and motivate teams to execute on tactics. I earn the trust of boards, peers and teams with a direct and authentic approach to expressing ideas, and delivering results.

Called upon to drive change, I master critical facts and issues, create solutions, and take bold action. I overcome resistance through a calm yet tenacious approach. With a background in general management, legal, operations, and human resources, I make smart enterprise-wide decisions. I foster a mission-driven, agile culture combined with financial rigor.

As a leader, I courageously question the status quo and help teams find creative solutions by thinking in color, not black and white. I make big, difficult decisions that drive results, while also taking care of the hearts of people. I inspire others to accomplish more than they dreamed they could.
