Anne Foley
Facilitator and Vice President, Client Experience
"Facilitating and witnessing the process of growth is inspiring and humbling. I am personally and professionally dedicated to fostering this process for individuals, teams and organizations."
A gifted communicator and avid reader, Anne has a deep appreciation for the power of language to build connections, strengthen relationships, and inspire meaningful change. Earlier in her career, she taught English to high school students, bringing a passion for exploring ideas, encouraging diverse perspectives, and helping students communicate with clarity and confidence.
Anne's journey with Nebo began as a client, where she experienced firsthand the transformative impact of a Nebo leadership program focused on effective communication. Inspired by the experience, she eventually “jumped lanes,” bringing her expertise and passion for developing others to the organization.
Since 2021, Anne has served as Vice President, Client Experience, leading Nebo's education and law practices while advising clients on strategic and complex communication challenges.
As a facilitator for the Nebo Leadership Academy, Anne brings a unique combination of executive leadership experience, communication expertise, and a natural ability to engage and inspire participants.

Drawing on real-world leadership challenges, Anne brings warmth, humor, and insight to her facilitation, creating engaging learning environments where complex concepts become practical and accessible.
