Biography
As The Nature Conservancy’s Managing Director of Operational Excellence for North America, the Caribbean, and Micronesia (North America Region), Deron Davis provides strategic leadership for an area of the world spanning from the boreal forests of Canada to the beaches of the Caribbean, including all 50 United States and a wide swath of the Pacific Ocean. He collaborates with global, regional, and local leadership to grow the organization’s impact and evolve the way teams work together towards TNC’s 2030 goals. This includes maximizing the effectiveness of development, marketing/communications, finance, human resources, legal, diversity/equity/inclusion, and sustainability for the Region and strengthening the culture, strategic leadership, and service commitment of the Region Office (a business unit with conservation, policy, and operations teams).
Previously, Deron served as TNC’s Conservation Project Director for the North America Region, where he fostered the design and delivery of conservation outcomes at larger scales by supporting effective state and country programs and cultivating collaborative leadership.
Deron has also served in various leadership positions and advisory roles at TNC. He was TNC’s Executive Director in Georgia, leading a dedicated and increasingly diverse team of staff and trustees who helped secure the protection of 100,00 acres of land, established a dedicated state fund for conservation and launched a program engaging city communities in greenspace activation and advocacy. Deron came to TNC from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, where he served on the State Water Plan leadership team, launched a water conservation campaign, and directed an environmental school improvement program.
Deron is a graduate of the University of Georgia’s Terry College of Business, an alumnus of the Institute for Georgia Environmental Leadership, and of Leadership Atlanta. He has been highlighted as a Leader in Nonprofit Service by the Atlanta Business Chronicle and recognized as one of the 100 Most Influential Georgians by Georgia Trend magazine.
