Lacey (Nymeyer) John believes that success in the workplace isn’t much different from winning in the pool.
“Coach Frank Busch had four rules: Show up, pay attention, tell the truth, honor your team with your effort,” said the 2008 Summer Olympics silver medalist and University of Arizona Women’s Swimming and Diving Team standout.
Now Chief of Staff to UNS Energy President and CEO Susan Gray, John lives those rules each day while driving strategic initiatives and effective operations at the executive level. She also guides company leaders on change and facilitates business goals by balancing content, people and processes.
Prior to her career at TEP, John spent 12 years pursuing her passion for serving and developing leaders at UA as the former director of alumni career and professional development.
As her career evolves, the 2009 NCAA Women’s Athlete of the Year continues to parlay her past athletic achievement into professional success while paying it forward through volunteerism and support of women and youth sports.
