Jolene Varney

I’m Jolene Varney. I am a former corporate, CFO, general manager turned Real Estate/Entrepreneur now doing what I love.

I grew up in a small town in Iowa (Go Hawks!), on a farm with many girl’s dream – horses. We worked hard, I put myself through college and embarked on my business journey which moved me 9 times throughout the U.S. and Europe over my career.

I joined Kimberly-Clark and spent 18 years in a great company that taught me leadership, teamwork and accountability. We focused on top-line growth and bottom-line margins through cost discipline and process efficiency. Great financials leaders at the company were taught to understand the business first and then the numbers. I left Kimberly-Clark and spent the second half of my career in healthcare and working for
private equity backed companies.

Over my 9 relocations and purchasing my personal homes, I loved remodeling and taking a great home in a great location and making it better. I applied that to business as well – my career was spent across projects, restructuring, building, buying and
growing companies. I learned general management, financial management and project management. My companies ranged from large organizations to start-ups.
