Staff Directory | Girl Scouts

Nancy Wright is the CEO of the Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana and has a proven track record in leading cross-functional teams within diverse business environments, focusing on revenue results, developing new business and building brands.

As CEO, Nancy loves seeing Girl Scouts bringing their dreams to life as they change the world for the better. Through programs, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges.

In 2022, Nancy was included in iHeartMedia Chicago’s Women Who WIN Class of 2022 which celebrated dynamic women leaders who have made a significant impact in the community as a direct result of their exceptional leadership. In addition, Nancy was recognized by Chicago Business Journal as a “Women of Influence” honoree, as well as Authorities Magazine’s Social Impact Hero in 2021. Nancy currently serves on the Resilient Schools Certification Advisory Council with Lurie Children’s Hospital, is a member of the Woman’s Athletic Club of Chicago and a past Girl Scout leader and alumna.

Carl joined the Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana in 2014 with a strong background in logistics, moving, inventory and management. As Vice President of Product Program, he supervises a team of six through both fall product and cookie programs. Carl’s strong work ethic has made him a favorite among both his team and Volunteers alike.  Volunteers don’t hesitate to call him for help with something as simple as some extra boxes of cookies they might need or as complicated as how to move 500 cases of cookies from one place to another without assistance. Family means everything to Carl and you will find him enjoying any spare time with his wife, son and 2 daughters.
