She had global responsibility for government and industry engagement strategies to advance the business goals of Corteva Agriscience. She managed a global team focused on shaping government policies and regulations that impacted Corteva’s freedom to operate in the United States, Asia, Latin America, Europe, Middle East and Africa.

She started her business focused career at Abbott as a Director of Global Government Affairs in 2006 focused on global trade policy’s impact to Abbott’s freedom to operate and was later promoted to Senior Director for Strategic Programs.

Tiffany lives with her family in Washington, DC. She enjoys volunteering and mentoring young professionals in her spare time, noting the kindness she received from so many to help her be successful professionally. Growing up economically disadvantaged in North Carolina with mom as the primary financial provider that worked three jobs to keep a roof over their heads inspired her interest in giving back to society and helping people that face some of the same barriers she faced while trying to accomplish financial independence
