Please join us in celebrating Lori's 25th work anniversary with FPI!
Reflecting on her journey, Lori shared:
"Twenty-five years ago, I started as a Credit Representative with Farm Credit East, formerly First Pioneer Farm Credit, and had no idea where the road would lead.
A phone call from Tom Moran changed everything. He saw potential in me that I hadn't yet seen in myself, and I decided to take the leap, earning my MBA from Clarkson University along the way. As a Cornell agribusiness graduate, I didn't exactly plan a career in software, but I've never looked back. Over the years, I've worn many hats at FPI, and each role has taught me something new.
What's kept me here? The people, the challenges, and the purpose. I enjoy finding solutions, building something better alongside talented colleagues, and knowing that our work helps support agriculture. My advice to anyone entering this industry is simple: stay open, keep learning, and embrace new opportunities. If I had to sum up the last 25 years in three words, they would be: Learn. Adapt. Thrive."
Thank you, Lori, for your leadership, contributions, and impact over the past 25 years. Congratulations on this remarkable milestone!
