The award is presented to one company leader each quarter who demonstrates excellence in business, people, results and personal leadership.

“I am humbled to receive this recognition,” said Haas. “This award is possible thanks to the incredibly hard working colleagues I work with every day.”

Haas, who leads a team that ensures business partners are in compliance with regulations and contractual requirements, was selected for exemplifying Navient’s values and leadership competencies. Nominated for the award by her entire staff, Haas was instrumental in launching her department and ensuring Navient adopted best practices, helping to reduce risk to the company.

“Nancy is a champion for Navient and often shares a ‘glass half-full’ perspective with her team, even when times are difficult,” said Jack Remondi, Navient president and CEO. “Nancy lives the Navient values and sets a high bar for her team and leads by example.”

Haas, who has been with the company for nearly 30 years, is an advocate for diabetes awareness. She credits her father, who has lived with diabetes for nearly 65 years, as an inspiration, teaching her to “always do what’s right, work hard, and make no excuses.”
