Rena moved from Reno, Nevada to the Quad Cities in 1990, and has since become a transplanted mid-westerner. She quickly began her career with John Deere and worked for nearly 30 years in various functions from information technology to compliance to executive coaching and lastly, leadership development. She managed programs for high-level leaders, including a consortium-based executive education program with the leading business school at Dartmouth College.
Personally, she has traveled to over 30 countries and has a hunger for learning about other cultures, particularly in undeveloped countries outside the US. Rena currently invests in for-profit and non-profit companies by providing coaching, leadership development, and communication skills training. Her recent project is the owner of coworkqc, a collaborative workspace in downtown Davenport, where she continues to work with local entrepreneurs and new business owners.
Her passion is to add value to others, and to help them build the skills they crave to be the best they can be – personally and professionally. The ripple effect is to make a difference to people so they can make a difference to others around them.
