Shannon Nutter is a Board Chair at Sparely - SPaaS (Spare Parts as a Service). Colleagues describe them as "I had the pleasure of working with Shannon during her time in Australia, where she led the Product & Experience team for Vanguard Super. This was an entirely new business for Vanguard, with Shannon building both the team and offer from scratch. Shannon is a true expert in managing digital (and non-digital) products from concept to launch. She has a thorough understanding of the product lifecycle and uses her deep expertise in retirement and the financial industry to drive client focused outcomes. She has a strength in challenging the status quo and is an advocate for innovative technology and treating data as a strategic asset. She was a wonderful partner to our engineering team, as someone who understood and respected the process of building software. Shannon’s client centricity brought rigor to the business, drawing on competitor analysis, industry gaps and client needs to arrive at the right answer – but always with a lens of pragmatism, experimentation and continuous improvement. Shannon is regularly sought out for her opinion in external forums, and during her time in Australia, successfully established herself as a thought leader and expert in the Superannuation and investment industry. Lastly, Shannon’s is well known for building talent within an organization, her team love working for her – and she mentors more people than anyone I know. She is a kind, but candid communicator who pushes people, myself included, to be their best." and "I had the pleasure of working with Shannon at Vanguard. For several years, we were colleagues who collaborated from a distance until we asked her to uproot her whole life and relocate to Australia. Our goal was to establish a new venture in the Superannuation industry, known as Retirement in other parts of the globe. We embarked on this journey with little more than a high-level vision, facing a challenge that was formidable. After three years of dedication, we proudly launched the first new end-to-end Superannuation Business in Australia in over 7 years. Shannon’s contribution was crucial, both to me personally and the broader team, to our success. Her exceptional leadership skills, creative problem solving, innovative mind and relentless drive for action where critical in shaping the business. During this time, Shannon imparted to me a wealth of knowledge. Her approach taught me to adopt innovative methods, leveraging cutting-edge technologies and embrace progress in order to question and challenge the status quo. And most importantly as her leader, she was always willing to give me feedback when I could be doing things differently. Shannon assembled a team from the ground up, selecting a dynamic mix of talent from both within the company and from outside. This team rapidly evolved into a unit known for its high performance. Under her guidance, each member experienced significant personal and professional growth all while delivering against the aggressive goals. I know they all loved the experience working for Shannon."
