When it comes to embracing new challenges and seizing opportunities, Robyn Nelson is no stranger to taking the road less traveled. Hailing from the rural town of Camperdown in Victoria, Australia, this accomplished professional has journeyed halfway across the globe and is now embarking on her newest venture: leading the Tradebank Wichita Franchise.
With a diverse background that spans from growing up on a cattle farm to owning a country pub and teaching at the university level, Robyn’s path has been anything but ordinary. Armed with an impressive set of degrees – including a Bachelor of Information Technology, a Bachelor of Business, an MBA, and a Master of eDiscovery – she brings a unique blend of technical expertise and business acumen to the table.
It was in 2013 when Robyn’s journey with Tradebank began, a fortuitous encounter orchestrated by a mutual acquaintance who introduced her to Edward Fox, the visionary behind the brand. Little did she know that this chance meeting would pave the way for her to join the Tradebank family just two years later, on April 27, 2015.
Before embarking on her Tradebank odyssey, Robyn’s professional history was as diverse as her educational background. From serving as the IT Manager, Personnel Director, and Desktop Publisher for the Walnut Valley Association in Winfield, Kansas, to taking on the role of Executive Director for a non-profit organization, her versatility and adaptability have been put to the test time and time again.
But what truly sets Robyn apart is her unwavering commitment to helping others – a driving force that fuels her both professionally and personally. “Helping people is my way of giving thanks for the fortunate life I am blessed to have,” she explains, her passion evident in every word.
This genuine desire to make a difference extends far beyond the confines of the boardroom. Robyn’s involvement with organizations like Kiwanis, Winfield Area Habitat for Humanity, and the Winfield Saddle Club (where she serves as Secretary) underscores her dedication to uplifting her community and empowering those around her.
And when she’s not immersed in her professional or philanthropic endeavors, you can find Robyn indulging in her love for horses – a passion she shares with her husband. Together, they care for a small herd of eight equines, including three full-sized horses, four miniature horses, and a recent addition, Tigger, a mini mule that came as a delightful surprise.
She also finds solace in the open road, reveling in the rumble of her cherished 1978 Pontiac Trans Am and the freedom it represents.
As she embarks on her new role as Tradebank Wichita’s Franchise Owner, Robyn’s aspirations are as grand as her accomplishments. “I believe Tradebank of Wichita was once one of THE Regions in Tradebank,” she enthuses.
“It is my goal to grow it back to being the top Region, through not only growing the number of quality members but also by bringing the best possible service to our members.”
With a steadfast commitment to excellence and an unwavering belief in Tradebank’s ability to ignite business success and community impact, Robyn is poised to leave an indelible mark on the region she now calls home. Her journey from rural Victoria to the heart of Wichita is a testament to her resilience, her adaptability, and her unwavering drive to make a lasting difference.
