Nancy has over 20 years experience in non-profit and for profit management, in the United States and overseas, including direct management and bottom-line responsibility. Since January 2004, Ms. Wilson has served as Director and Associate Dean of Tufts' Jonathan M. Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service. She is responsible for the overall programming and management of this university-wide initiative to engage students, faculty and alumni in a lifelong commitment to civic engagement. Prior to coming to Tufts, Ms. Wilson served briefly as Executive Director of the Africa Foundation, directing the implementation of a new organizational strategy. Before that, she completed five years in an international management consulting firm, where she became partner. She successfully started a new practice area in the firm, growing to a profitable team of 30 consultants within 18 months, directed teams working across all industries, and managed teams working across a wide range of consulting fields: strategy, customer relationship management, supply chain, cost reduction, human resources, change management and finance. Through her work in both the United States and Africa, she has consulted to or managed culturally diverse work-groups, to expand the contribution of historically under-represented groups.
