Episode 21: AI Strategy for Business Operations, with CFO Nancy Greene

Nancy Greene, CFO and vice president for finance and operations at Pine Crest School in Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, has received just about every major NBOA honor, thanks to her dedication to the schools she's served and forward thinking in the business office. It's no surprise she's at the forefront of strategic AI adoption, for which Pine Crest received the 2026 Jeffrey Shields Innovation in Independent School Business Operations award. In this episode with host NBOA President and CEO Jeff Shields, Greene explains how a school of any size can get started with thoughtful AI deployments in their business office, and how Pine Crest is hiring differently now with strategic AI in place. Greene also discusses how she has stayed ahead of the curve in many areas, including ERM and executive compensation.
