Tanya Foxe is an independent board director and former executive vice president and officer of Fortune 500 and large-cap companies, including Johnson & Johnson, Cemex, and Avon. A former “un-corporate corporate executive,” she was often hired as an outsider to build new teams, lead through crisis, and turn around underperforming businesses in complex, global organizations. She is known for her ability to connect the dots from strategy to action, problem to solution, and boardroom to shop floor. Foxe improves board effectiveness, governance, and decision-making through independent judgment and experience-based, data-driven insights, grounded in curiosity, agency, and integrity.

She offers more than 30 years of experience leading global operations and supply chains through large-scale transformations, including growth acceleration, business turnarounds, mergers and acquisitions and divestitures, network redesigns, and organizational restructuring. Foxe served on business-unit and regional management boards, and she now applies that experience to board-level oversight of strategy, risk, capital allocation, and transformation, with a particular focus on execution risk, operational resilience, and value-creation levers.

Foxe has transitioned from full-time executive roles to a portfolio of board and advisory work. She served as the sole fully independent board director of a $250 million private-equity-backed industrial conveyor systems company, where she helped shape strategy and growth, including four strategic acquisitions, while scaling people, processes, and controls. Foxe serves on the Houston Advisory Board of the NACD Texas TriCities Chapter, and, in 2021, she earned governance credentials, including NACD Directorship Certification® and the Harvard Business School’s Corporate Director Certificate.

Fluent in English and Spanish, Foxe has lived and worked across the United States, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, bringing cross-cultural insight, global perspective, and diversity of thought to the boardroom. An avid learner, she recently completed the Cambridge AI Leadership Programme at the University of Cambridge Judge Business School, deepening her perspective on artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and technology governance. She holds a master of business administration from Pepperdine University and a bachelor of arts in international business and Spanish from California State University, Fullerton.
