Bridgeway Announces New CEO
Bridgeway is proud to announce the appointment of Staci Danner as Chief Executive Officer, effective October 1, 2025.
Staci has dedicated more than 26 years of service to Bridgeway, most recently as Chief Financial Officer. Her deep knowledge of the organization, commitment to its mission, and steady leadership uniquely position her to guide Bridgeway into its next chapter.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Bill Nelson for his extraordinary 37 years of service, including a decade as CEO. His vision and care have left a lasting mark on Bridgeway and the communities we serve. We also wish to acknowledge the many contributions of other leaders who have helped shape Bridgeway’s growth and success.
As Staci steps into her new role, she has reaffirmed Bridgeway’s commitment to its people and its mission through four guiding pillars: ·
- People First – Ensuring our employees, consumers, and communities remain at the center of every decision. ·
- Transparency & Listening – Communicating openly, listening actively, and creating ongoing dialogue at every level. ·
- Follow-Through – Turning feedback into meaningful action and accountability. ·
- Culture of Growth & Leadership – Strengthening leadership at all levels, fostering development opportunities, and cultivating growth mindsets.
Bridgeway is also committed to building a world-class culture of emotional wellbeing. Recognizing that this work cannot be done alone, we have partnered with external experts to help turn employee voices into practical systems and sustainable change.
Staci’s vision is clear: to guide Bridgeway into its next era of growth and impact — for employees, for consumers, and for the communities we serve.
Bridgeway’s future is rooted in its people — and together, with Staci’s leadership, we look forward with pride, optimism, and possibility.
