Today’s spotlight: Lisa Davey
Title: Vice president, Washington Federal
Background: Davey is vice president and northeast Arizona retail division manager for Washington Federal and also oversees the bank’s “Save at School” and “Washington Federal Financial Scholars” programs statewide.
Lesson learned: “I love onions, every single layer. But when it comes to people, I had to learn the hard way to peel back their onion-like layers before making any business decision about them. Some of my first hires, as a result, didn’t work. Now I’ve completely re-imagined how I evaluate talent.”
Surprising fact: “Don’t let the blond hair and business suit fool you. I love tent camping, riding quads and even shooting guns.”
