Tracey Power isn’t your typical human resources professional. In fact, she describes herself as a business person first and foremost, and an HR person second. Her first priority is growing, protecting and tending the vital resources that ensure our company’s measured success.

Spoiler alert: it’s people.

As our Chief People Officer, Tracey spends her days focused on the hearts, minds, souls and goals of the Vaco Nation. She brings people, culture and business strategy together to create a pretty amazing place to work, populated by genuine, hand-picked humans who are committed to doing the right things for our customers. Our signature over-the-top client service experience begins with Tracey’s commitment to doing the right thing for our employees and consultants, so they can do the right thing for our customers.

Prior to joining the Vaco executive team, Tracey served as Manager of Training and Internal Communications for Affinion Group, Assistant Vice President of Professional Development for J.C. Bradford & Co, and Executive Vice President of Human Resources for Comdata Corporation/Stored Value Solutions. She’s been a proud Vacotian since 2015 and is currently an adjunct faculty member of Lipscomb University College of Business teaching Human Resource Strategy.

Tracey holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and an M.Ed. from Vanderbilt University. She is a certified executive coach (ACC) through the International Coaching Federation, Tennessee Rule 31 Mediator, Global (GPHR) and Senior Human Resource Professional (SPHR) by the HR Certification Institute and Senior Certified Professional (SCP) with the Society of Human Resource Management. Tracey volunteers for various community organizations, including serving on the executive committee of the American Heart Association’s Heart Gala in Nashville
